Holiday Ideas - Lacapelle-Biron, Gavaudun, Chateau Biron

Chateau Biron

A very attractive chateau, Biron was owned by the same family for many hundreds of years, who successfully enlarged and changed it. It is found at the head of the Gavaudun Valley, just south of Monpazier.

Chateau Biron

Chateau Bonaguil

Chateau de Bonaguil

South of Villefranche-du-Perigord you can visit (indeed must visit) Chateau de Bonaguil. Coming with a long history of neglect and tyrannical ownership, Chateau de Bonaguil is one of the finest chateaux in France. Great to explore, great history, great views and a great setting. What more do you want?

Gavaudun Castle (donjon)

Gavaudun castle - already described on the 'places and sights page' Gavaudun Castle is well worth a visit - it is in a very good location looking down the Gavaudun Valley.

See these and more on our dedicated French castles section.
