Beynac photos and guide


Beynac-et-Cazenac is a old village on the banks of the Dordogne river.

The village is built on narrow terraces overlooking the river.

There is a Hotel and a few shops you can take boat trips in the summer.

150m above the village is Beynac castle you can see it in the photos.

If you want to visit the castle you can park in the village.

You can then walk up the very steep road to the castle about 15 mins.

Or you can drive up the D 703 and park at the top.

The castle is open to the public at most times it cost 7 euros to go in October 2006.

The view from the top down the Dordogne valley is worth the money on its own.

The castle was once captured by Richard the Lion heart King of England.

During the 100 year war the ownership changed hands between the French and English

This area seems to have a castle or chateau around every corner.

All along the river valley you will find villages built right up to the cliffs.

There are plenty of places to stay in the area we stayed in a Gite in the nearby town of Bergerac.

This Gite in the village of Daglan looked very nice

Sarlat, the Chateaux of Beynac and Castelnaud, the Bastide of Domme and Roque Gageac with river beaches are all within 20km.

The main garden area to the front of the house has a lawned area which contains a covered area ideal for eating outdoors.
