A magnificent museum on medieval warfare and lifestyle
Built in the 12th century on a rocky outcrop overlooking the confluence of the Céou and Dordogne rivers, this fortress was the scene of many warlike confrontations during the time of the Cathars, the Hundred Years' War and the Wars of Religion. Its collection of weapons and armor, and life-size reconstructions of war machines, provide a rare insight into the art of warfare in the Middle Ages. Self-guided tours include extensive, educational signage. Several themed guided tours are available.

Petit plus quant aux explications d'attaque de château avec des machines de guerre type trébuchet et démo en fin de visite qui ont bien marquées les enfants.
L'entrée gratuite pour les enfants est rare dans la région, par contre le parking est lui payant (au pied du château)

Faire la visite pour ne rien louper et avoir des détails et explications.
Bien également pour les enfants.
Parking un peu cher et attention car ils mettent des amendes.
