Beynac

Journey through great history and dive into the heart of the Hundred Years’ War.

Walk in the footsteps of King Richard the Lionheart and gaze out over the horizon from the top of this magnificent and imposing fortress.

Since the 12th century, the Château de Beynac has watched over the valley. It is one of the most renowned castles in the Dordogne and offers an exceptional panorama.

Whether you are passionate about castles or simply curious, you’ll be enchanted — and perhaps you’ll even catch a glimpse of the king’s mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine.
