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.

The castles abound in the region but it belonged to the inevitable. It is naturally we went after choosing the ticket grouped in the gardens of Marqueyssac. We pay a free tour of the site, following the explanations of the brochure paper.
At the end of June, there are not too many people, which allows you to live at your own pace and to view the various films and TV.
It is true that it would have been more lively and fun in high season when there are workshops and activities around the theme of the Middle Ages.
The only downside: in addition to the entrance of the site, you have to pay €3 from of parking fee is
Superb castle that you should not miss in the region. To find a hours with a guide but suitable free tour, explanations all long, staging of rooms, rooms weapons, itinerary and variety of nice rooms. Unique view. I recommend the ascent known as " difficile" by the colimasson tower on the right on entering for an immediate immersion!
