Why Château de Beynac matters
Beynac castle crowns a high cliff over the Dordogne. The village below is a collection of stone houses climbing the slope. Views from the castle terraces are superb. Park at the bottom and walk up through the village, because the lanes are narrow and the climb is steep.
Talking points
- It stands on a high cliff.
- The village is very pretty.
- Views take in the valley.
