Discover nature with Camping Le Capeyrou at Beynac-et-Cazenac

At the foot of its imposing castle which watches over the Dordogne, Beynac and Cazenac adds to the beauty of its site the pleasures of water and the gastronomy of the Périgord. In the Middle Ages, the defensive site of Beynac became the seat of one of the four baronies of the Périgord. Besieged by Richard the Lionheart and then dismantled by Simon de Montfort, the castle was rebuilt during the Hundred Years' War, taken and recaptured by the armies of England and France, before being restored during the Revolution. The imposing castral complex overlooks the roofs of the village and its blonde facades. Developed between rivers and cliffs, sheltered by an enclosure, Beynac has long lived on the traffic on the Dordogne. Used today for walks along the water, the barges share the river with boats and canoes. On the plateau overlooking the valley, the chapel of Cazenac is moving in its simplici

This route around Vézac will take you between the plain and the hills to discover the natural and landscape riches of this exceptional territory. Along the Dordogne river, you will see the castles of Beynac, Marqueyssac, Fayrac and Les Milandes. You will follow the same paths as the inhabitants of Vézac, along the Trel and Pontou rivers, when they went to the mills. This route allows you to discover the mills of Treil (oil), of l'Evêque in perfect working order (flour) and the mill of Caillou with a passage through the station from where the millstones extracted from Cénac and Domme, reputed to be among the best in France, left for Bordeaux and the whole world.

The commune is divided into two parts. To the south, a large agricultural alluvial plain bordered by the Dordogne river. To the north, the village stretches out at the foot of a cliff whose plateau is covered by woods of holm oak and boxwood. A pleasant stroll now awaits you, as you discover traditional habitats and memory trails.

The commune is divided into two parts. To the south, a large agricultural alluvial plain bordered by the Dordogne river. To the north, the village stretches out at the foot of a cliff whose plateau is covered with holm oak and boxwood woods, where the rock often outcrops on a thin layer of arable land. On this hike, you'll discover traditional housing; you'll follow the shady paths of the hillsides and, to finish, you'll skirt the lush Béringot valley and its clear stream.

A former pilgrimage route of 180 kilometers from the Périgord to Rocamadour, this magnificent route is now marked out, and allows you to cross the vineyards and hills of Bergerac in complete safety, before skirting the green Dordogne valley and its cliffs, to arrive in the valley of the Ouysse. For this 8th stage, further upstream from the Dordogne, you will pass by the church of Cenac, an ancient priory built in 1090, where you will admire the sculpted niches and modillions. Domme is just a stone's throw away, at the top of a rocky spur overlooking the Dordogne. This bastide, built in 1281 by the French king Philippe III le hardi, has a defensive system that has been preserved. The ramparts are still in place as well as the three doors giving access to the city. The door of the Towers is the most visited because of the graffiti left by imprisoned Templars.

The Dordogne valley expresses a strong continuity, without any breaks, along its course, highlighting the many astonishing places that line it. In addition to the "natural" compositions, it is often the hand of man that has created the renowned sites of this valley. A number of castles and villages blend remarkably well with their surroundings, highlighting some of the valley?s must-see sites: Domme on a promontory, the Château de Beynac overlooking the valley, La Roque-Gageac between cliff and river... The landscape bears open-air didactic witness to its history. Elsewhere, villages have sprung up along the valley, a corridor for easy communication, at the foot of the slopes but not far from the water, each with its own particularity and charm.

The Dordogne river is born in the Puy de Sancy by the confluence of the torrents of the Dore and the Dogne. After crossing the Massif Central, the Corrèze and part of the Lot, it enters the Périgord and meets limestone soils that it will notch, bypass to form its famous cingles (loops), or find other passages and form dead arms, the "couasnes" valued for fishing. The holm oaks border the top of the sometimes steep cliffs. Having served for a long time as an axis of circulation between the Corrèze and the Gironde, the river allows today various nautical activities of leisure, while preserving its natural framework, the river being classified as "World Reserve of Biosphere" by UNESCO.

Castelnaud la Chapelle, classified as one of the "Most Beautiful Villages in France", dominates the confluence of the Dordogne and Céou rivers. Its terraced layout, which can be climbed along the steep little streets, offers an exceptional wealth of heritage. Abandoned during the Revolution, the Château de Castelnaud was used as a stone quarry in the 19th century, before its classification as a Historic Monument prevented it from falling into ruin in 1996. After major restoration campaigns, it once again stands above the valley, offering a panoramic view of the villages of Beynac-et-Cazenac and La Roque-Gageac. It houses the Museum of War in the Middle Ages. Agriculture, crafts, shops, the richness of the associative life, the green vegetation of the site, ideal starting point of many walks or canoeing along the Dordogne, ensure its reputation.

This 25 km cycle route is perfect for cycling peacefully. Cycling on small roads and paths between Castelnaud La Chapelle and the Abbey Nouvelle in the Lot, it will take you through a valley which benefits from a very mild climate, hence the Mediterranean vegetation on its hillsides. Castelnaud La Chapelle is listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France with a castle overlooking the river Dordogne. It was converted into a War Museum in the Middle Ages. If you go for a stroll, you will also see there is a museum dedicated to the famous walnut of the Périgord. There is an interesting statue representing a ""gabarrier"" (the driver of those special riverboat) on the riverside.
