Chateau de Commarque
Château de Commarque is found 15 kilometres to the north of Sarlat.
It is an enigma among castles in the region. It's exact origins are unknown, and its inaccessible location in a tree lined valley led to it slowly becoming buried in silt and dirt over the centuries - it is only in recent years that archaeologists have been reclaiming the castle from the countryside, before it disappeared altogether.
It is a fascinating place that they are uncovering. The Chateau de Commarque forms the highlight of a 13th century village that once surrounded the castle, and is now being rediscovered, slowly and meticulously.
The lower parts of the chateau at Commarque are hewn into the rock on which it sits, including various prehistoric shelters and tunnels hacked through the rock.
The rediscovery of the castle and village, after being lost for hundreds of years, adds to the romance and sense of history that pervades Commarque like nowhere else.
