Castle at the top of the cliff overlooking the confluence of the Vère and the Aveyron, with 2 exhibitions, one of which is on prehistory

Classified as a historical monument since 1840, the building (12th, 13th and 17th centuries) is built at the top of the cliff that dominates the confluence of the Vère and the Aveyron, on the site of an ancient Roman castrum. Property of the Counts of Toulouse in the 12th century, it was divided in the 15th century between two branches of the House of Comminges, which explains the current division into a Young Castle and an Old Castle. Two permanent exhibitions: one on the filming of the movie " Le Vieux Fusil" (The Old Gun), shot in these walls; the other on prehistory (Neanderthal site).

Visite très instructive avec guide passionné. Superbes vues. Site du tournage du film culte "Le vieux fusil". Avant d'y accéder, on traverse le village tout aussi intéressant. Calme (hors week-end et hors saison !)

Parfait!
Bon accueil. Explications complètes avec audioguide et largement suffisante avec panneaux. Visite comprenant une expo permanente sur la grotte de Bruniquel et expos temporaires sur différents thèmes. Très belle visite à faire!

Chateau de Bruniquel
En allant en direction de St Cirq Lapopie, nous avons été attirés par ce château en hauteur et avons décidé d'y faire une pause. Nous sommes arrivés juste pour le départ de la visite guidée. Le guide est passionnant. Entre l'histoire du château ou plutôt des 2 châteaux (le vieux et le jeune) et les anecdotes sur le tournage du "vieux fusil", on ne voit pas passer la visite. Nous sommes restés 1h30. Car une fois la visite guidée terminé, on peut déambuler librement dans le château et regarder les nombreuses expos photos. Notamment une expo sur le tournage du vieux fusil, de très belles photos de portes du village, des photos autour du thème du bleu pastel et à l'étage du château jeune, une vidéo sur une grotte située aux alentours que l'on peut pas visiter et qui recèle bien des mystères. Je recommande également de visiter le village, belles ruelles en pierre, calme et fraicheur.

Un village unique !
Un magnifique château, avec de petites ruelles tout autour très agréables. Je recommande si vous passez dans le coin.

The climb is worth it! Two parking lots, one at the bottom one half way. Small alleys where he makes good strolling. The plan with buildings of interest is to be obtained. The picturesque alleys lose the notion of time. But they make it possible to cut the climb, crossing the village. The castle is to be visited, as well as the enclosed garden, which gives breathing. A pleasant memory!
