Nontron is a town with a rich history dating back around 3,000 years, with traces of prehistoric and Gallo-Roman habitation. It is known for its traditional crafts, particularly cutlery, with the famous Nontron knife, one of the oldest folding knives in France. The town stretches over a strategic rocky promontory, once home to fortifications and a historic castle, the latter dating back to the 8th century and rebuilt in the 19th century.

Javerlhac Castle was rebuilt around 1498 by Dauphin Pastoureau, a master blacksmith in Nontron. It is typical of Périgord manor houses, with a rectangular dwelling, a large round tower with machicolations decorated with trefoils, and a polygonal tower housing a spiral staircase. The castle retains defensive features such as gun ports, despite modernization in the early 19th century. It burned down in 1369 during the Hundred Years' War and has undergone several reconstructions. Privately owned, its facades and roofs have been listed as historic monuments since 1974.

A very beautiful mill near Javerlhac-et-la-Chapelle-Saint-Robert on the river Bandiat.

Nowadays, only very few mills are still in operation in their original function, but they appear to hikers and cyclists along the river as technical and historical monuments of an ancient craft tradition: Only through human ingenuity and the natural power of flowing water as driving energy, the heavy millstones inside were moved and so, for example, grain could be ground into flour (so-called grain mills) or oil could be pressed from fruits (e.g. olives) (so-called oil mills).

great place for a break in your hike. a good moment of relaxation

There are several bridges on the cycle path that you pass through. Some of them are very impressive.

Very beautiful castle. Unfortunately you can only visit it from the outside
