Commarque Castle Visit a medieval fortress at a troglodyte site in the Dordogne

Commarque Castle

The Mysteries of the Forgotten Fortress

Once upon a time in a legendary valley there was a grandiose millefeuille of stones where dungeons and fortified castles, troglodytes and prehistoric caves overlap in a breathtaking landscape. You will engrave stone like a builder, you will shoot a bow like a knight, you will trace the poems of courtly love with a pen. You will discover the mysteries of Commarque through games of yesteryear, themed workshops, a puzzle game, captivating exhibitions and of course free and guided tours...
