ボーロンヌのおすすめツーリングルート

Villamblard is a village with a rich past spanning over 2,000 years, with traces of occupation dating back to prehistoric times and a proven Gallo-Roman presence. The jewel of the village is undoubtedly the 12th-century Château de Barrière, whose ruins bear witness to a turbulent past marked by medieval and religious wars. This castle was the home of Count Wilgrin de Taillefer, a passionate historian who played a key role in promoting the heritage of the Périgord. Villamblard was also an important stop on the road from Bergerac to Périgueux, at the heart of historical routes such as the Santiago de Compostela route.

The Church of Saint-Pierre and Saint-Paul in Neuvic is a fascinating blend of Romanesque art and Gothic touches, built in the 12th and 13th centuries. Its Romanesque dome, adorned with a 19th-century apse, bears witness to the numerous restorations it has undergone, particularly in the 19th century. Damaged several times, notably during the Hundred Years' War, it retains a strong historical charm and a unique appearance. Inside, its 17th-century altarpiece is a small marvel to discover for lovers of sacred art.

Neuvic Castle, built in the 16th century on the banks of the Isle, reveals a fascinating blend of medieval architecture and Renaissance elegance. Its vaulted rooms, authentic murals, and rare three-tiered stone sink preserve the secrets of a vibrant past. Surrounded by a superb six-hectare botanical park, a refuge for wildlife and a place of wonder for the curious, it invites you to stroll. Listed as a historic monument, the building was bequeathed in 1950 to the Fondation de l'Isle for the care of children, embodying the generosity of its owners. Today, fascinating tours, escape games, and nature walks make Neuvic Castle a destination as informative as it is inspiring.

Beauséjour Castle, built in 1340 by Cardinal Hélie de Talleyrand, proudly overlooks the Isle, like a guardian watching over the valley. This noble haven has survived the centuries and storms, burned down during the Fronde and then restored in the 17th century, it retains its silhouette steeped in history. It is said that it welcomed Henry IV during his warlike passage, and was for a long time the heart of the Duchy of Périgord, surrounded by mysteries and family legends. Now private.
