    Castelnaud-la-Chapelle stands proudly on a hill in the heart of the Périgord Noir and offers a wonderful view of the confluence of the Dordogne and the Céou. The narrow, winding and quite steep streets meander between unique medieval houses up to the castle and offer numerous very beautiful photo opportunities.

    The picturesque silhouette of the place is determined by the Castelnaud castle, a medieval fortification from the 12th / 13th centuries. Century. The castle now houses a museum of medieval warfare. Various siege machines can be viewed in their original size on the grounds of the castle, for example various slingshots, a cannon and a very large crossbow which could be used to shoot up to 300m. Inside the castle is a large exhibition with beautifully decorated crossbows and everyday objects from different eras.

    Castelnaud-la-Chapelle is one of the most beautiful villages in France.

    Nearby, in an 18th century farmhouse, is the Walnut Eco-Museum.

      Before climbing into the village, the bicycles can be parked in the parking lot below. There is a small bicycle parking facility there.

        Very pretty village on the hillside. As the slopes are steep, if you are on a bike, I recommend parking it in the parking lot at the bottom.
        Go up through the small streets: typical houses of the region, beautiful views. And to round it off, a magnificent castle which dominates the Dordogne valley and the entrance to the Céou valley. Departing from Castelnaud-La-Chapelle, you also have a cycle path which will take you to Saint-Cybranet, Daglan (pretty village, with a beautiful landscaped area on the banks of the Céou where you can picnic), Bouzic, etc. .. one of the rare cycle paths developed in Périgord Noir...
