ItsChâteaux
We’ve already mentioned Château de Castelnaud and Château des Milandes. The first is a magnificent monument dating from the 13th century, and classified as a historical monument since 1966. Perched on the edge of a bank of the Dordogne, and watching over the Céou, it offers an absolutely breathtaking view of Beynac and La Roque-Gageac. For lovers of castles, Castelnaud is full of them! We can mention the Castelnaud and Milandes castles, but also Fayrac, Lacoste, Péchaud, or Chignac. But if war isn’t your cup of tea, and you’re looking for religious silence, opt instead for the many local churches and chapels: chapelle castrale de Lacoste, église Saint-Jacques-le-Mineur, chapelle de Fayrac, église Saint-Blaise de la Chapelle-Péchaud… And don’t forget the museums: Musée de la Fauconnerie and its video room, Musée Josephine Baker at Château des Milandes, or Musée de la Guerre au Moyen-Âge at Château de Castelnaud. The latter offers visitors authentic weapons, war machines and medieval animations. For the gourmets, there is also the Ecomuseum of the walnut of Périgord (mill of Vielcroze).
Sa Gastronomy
But Castelnaud-la-Chapelle doesn’t just offer nuts! The gastronomy of the Dordogne is waiting for you to be tasted in full teeth. So, whether in Castelnaud, Sarlat, or Paulhiac, why deprive yourself?

For wine, we can mention the delicious Bergerac wines, while Rocamadour and Cabécou will delight the cheese lovers (those who do not have a sensitive nose!). Finally, for vegetarians, there are always the delicious Perigord strawberries: Gariguette, Cirafine, Charlotte… A tip: before going to the market in Castelnaud, prepare a large basket!
