- TWO CASTLES, ONE GREAT HISTORY
  Built on a rocky spur, the Château de Bourdeilles brings together two exceptional buildings. A 13th century medieval fortress flanked by an impressive 32-metre high keep and an elegant Renaissance residence housing one of the richest collections of furniture in Aquitaine. During the holidays, children can explore the castle accompanied by their book of puzzles that will be offered to them. During the dramatised night tours, explore the castle like privileged guests in a warm, humorous and unusual atmosphere.

Great access, including the Wine Cave in the basements. Visitors are free to roam with handheld electronic guides in many languages. The Castle is great to see and get good access to the structures, with a few furnished rooms. The later Palace alongside is well furnished and gives an impression of priveleged life in ancient times. Good views from the ramperts over the village and to the river below. English spoken at reception.

Well worth a visit, no photos allowed to ne taken inside hence you won't find many online but don't let it put you off. We enjoyed it so much we bought the book to read up and remind us of our day. Situated in a pretty village with cafes & restaurants.

We stopped by on our way to Perigueux and what a pleasant surprise this Chateau was. While we enjoyed the older part of the complex (and I agree that it was a bit disappointing that the tower was closed) it was the newer part and the wonderful rooms and furniture that were amazing. It provides a better idea of what similar rooms might have looked like long ago and really allows one to imagine the time period. It also has wonderful gardens to walk through and perfect views of the river and Mill from the upper floors. Well worth a few hours of your time!

Make sure you walk right to the top of the tower. Great views from the top 360 degrees. Great pieces of furniture.
