Uncover wonders around Camping Le Ceou

The crossing of one of the Most Beautiful Villages of France in the Dordogne, by the castral village of Castelnaud and its stone streets let you admire the view on the Dordogne and the surrounding castles. Located at the confluence of the Dordogne and Céou rivers, the agricultural valley covered with walnut trees characterizes the richness of this territory.

Stroll from the banks of the Dordogne to the viewpoint of the mission cross, crossing the village of Castelnaud dominated by its castle.

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.

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.

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.
