Beautiful castle, close for the siesta

nice picnic place

The castle, which once dominated the Dordogne valley from a rocky outcrop, has stood since 1952 on a headland that juts out into the Barrage de Bort-les-Orgues reservoir. The original character of the castle can only be guessed at when the water level is low. The multi-storey building is surrounded by five towers of roughly the same thickness and one thinner one, each with overhangs and conical roofs. The individual floors are connected by a spiral staircase in the vestibule. The inner courtyard was originally roofless. The first floor consists of three large rooms with decorated fireplaces from the mid-19th century and various furniture. An art exhibition with works by painters, mostly from the region, takes place every year on the second floor. The artistically crafted roof trusses of the towers can be seen from the battlement on the top floor. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Val

Easily accessible nice castle ruins

Pleasant path on the Cantal banks of the dam. Possibility to make a short loop from the castle going up on the Monteil or to extend to the Siauve for a longer loop.

Thank you to Alain for his welcome and to the kind souls of this campsite. A very human contact that is very rare these days! Thank you all 🖤

Yes ; a very beautiful castle which was saved from being engulfed ...... like some villages and chapels! It was sold to Bords les orgues by EDF for a symbolic 1 franc! He is magnificent.

The air du temps campsite in Beaulieu is very pleasant because it is located on the edge of the Dordogne, which in this precise place forms the lake of Bort-les-Orgues. From the campsite you will have a beautiful view of the Château de Val. One kilometer further towards the village you will find the Auberge de Beaulieu which has a very good reputation.
