Montfort Castle, perched on a rocky spur above the Dordogne Valley, offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes. This medieval castle, with its soaring towers and stone walls, seems to have come straight out of a fairy tale. Below, the river meanders through meadows and forests, creating an idyllic setting. A perfect place for a romantic stroll or a contemplative break!

The castle is in very good condition
It dominates the road that connects Sarlat to La Roque Gageac. You can stop there for lunch at the restaurant at the foot of the ramparts
