Château Montfort Road

Highlight (Segment) • Castle

Very nice route between Montfort and Carsac-Aillac along the cliffs above the Dordogne. On the way you have a great view of the Château Montfort and the Dordogne.

The Montfort Castle stands on a jagged rock, 90 meters above the Dordogne, at the end of the famous “Cingle de Montfort” river loop in the municipality of Vitrac in the French department of Dordogne.

The complex is located in a park surrounded by walls and was extensively restored in the 19th century. Nothing remains of the previous medieval buildings. The ruins of the left wing were reconstructed, the tower dates from the 15th century, the rest from the 16th century. They used to have pieces from the time of Louis XIII. and Louis XIV's furnished rooms in the basement are accessible to visitors; Now Montfort Castle can no longer be visited.
In its history, Montfort Castle was conquered, burned down and rebuilt three times. During the Albigensian Crusade in the 13th century, Simon IV de Montfort took the castle. During the Hundred Years' War the castle was destroyed under Louis XI. and then destroyed under Henry IV.

Beautiful houses that look like picture-book France. A bit hurry, but still very nice.

Domme

Highlight • Settlement

The Porte des Tours takes you to the charming old town. It is easy to stroll through the town, past shops and small inns to the La Barr viewing terrace. From there you have a magnificent view of the Dordogne valley.
Special old buildings are the market hall, the minter's house on the Place de la Rode and the market square with its viewing terrace. With a bit of luck, it is also market day.
