Château de Castelnaud


So, while I was working on last week's chateau, I found this one: Château de Castelnaud. It is quite a beautiful building.



The Château de Castelnaud is a medieval fortress in the commune of Castelnaud-la-Chapelle, overlooking the Dordogne River in Périgord, southern France.



I found this great site with the history of the Chateau and the battles and all that was going on.

I hope you have enjoyed this lovely Chateau!


Bonjour

Beautiful! I really like the second picture, where it looks as though it is rising out of the trees. :)

Ooooo! Another very cool place. Maybe I'll get to go there someday, too, when I am visiting France.
