CHÂTEAU DE BIRON
The castle of Biron is very often used as a film location
Château de Biron, built in the 12th century, is one of the 4 baronies of Périgord. It was a hotly contested strategic fortress during the Hundred Years' War. Burnt down in 1442, Château de Biron was rebuilt by the Gontaut-Biron family at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. Throughout its history, it underwent a number of architectural changes, including the creation of the double-columned loggia opening onto a stone staircase. Further renovations in the 19th century, in the style of the architect Eugène Viollet le Duc, give it a remarkable architectural style today. Château de Biron is often used as a film location. Hearing-impaired visitors can follow the tours thanks to a sign language videoguide included in the Sémitour smartphone application. Visioguides in French, German, Spanish, English and Dutch are available for all visitors. We recommend that you take advantage of the services of one of our guides, who will make your visit even more exciting. Concerts and farmers' markets are also held in the summer months. The department's heritage department regularly invests the walls to create a dialogue between different works of contemporary art. There's plenty of parking nearby, even for motorhomes. Don't leave without taking a tour of the small but charming village.

Nous nous sommes "raccrochés " à une visite guidée intéressante mais sommes repartis un peu déçus par l'expo d'art moderne
