Leaving Bretenoux, we pass through this shaded section, among the trees, before cycling through the surrounding fields.

Bretenoux is a fortified town in the Haut-Quercy region, recognizable by its checkerboard layout and large central square lined with arcades. Located at the confluence of the Cère and Dordogne rivers, it has been a busy trading center since the Middle Ages. Today, its lively streets and well-preserved heritage make it a pleasant stopover between Rocamadour and the valley's castles.

Small, bustling town. Lively center, beautiful view of the castle.

Well now we have to go up there!!!

Some of the windows in the nave contain stained glass from the 16th century. Today only fragments remain (restoration in the 1990s). One window shows a crucifixion scene, another Jean II de Castelnau (the father of the church's founder Jacques de Castelnau) in his robes with his protector, John the Baptist, and his wife Anne de Culant with Saint Anne.

Must see: The art collection in the castle also includes seven large-format tapestries from the 17th century with scenes from country life.

Very nice view of the Château Castelnau-Bretenoux.

Walled old town with many cafes and restaurants, as well as small historic streets to visit.
