The Chateau de Castelnaud

It faces the Chateau Marqueyssac which is worth a visit while you are in the area.

Chateau-de-Castelnaud
Chateau de Castelnaud was the base for the English army during the 100 year war.
The French were based across the river at Castle Beynac there is a link at the bottom of the page.

The Trebuchet
There is a book shop and tavern you can see working models of siege engines like the mangonel
It is a giant sling or the trebuchet. You can see them in the photos.
The best part of the visit is the view down the river.
There are plenty of places to stay in the area we stayed in a Gite in the nearby town of Bergerac.
Places to stay
Holiday Rental apartment Paris
This large 2-bedroom apartment is a delight to come home to after a long days sightseeing and window shopping. Located on the first floor (2nd floor for North Americans), with a lift, the apartment overlooks rue Custine, one of the most interesting street in Paris to walk through.
Though facing the street, the double-glazed windows give you excellent insulation against any daily passerby.
The apartment has been tastefully decorated in vibrant colors, which catch the natural light streaming into the apartment. As the view is not obstructed closely by another building in front, you benefit from the sunlight and can enjoy your morning breakfast a the wooden dinning table which extends to seat 6.
In the living room you will find a sofa bed that sleeps two. We also have installed a flat screen TV with cable (as well as a dvd player and some dvd's) and have high speed internet access for your laptop computers so you can remain in touch. We also provide you with a Mac Computer in the apartment, a free Phone during your stay and a Bose bluetooth station.
