Montfort Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Montfort Castle stands on a jagged rock, 90 meters above the Dordogne, at the end of the famous “Cingle de Montfort” river loop in the municipality of Vitrac in the French department of Dordogne.

The complex is located in a park surrounded by walls and was extensively restored in the 19th century. Nothing remains of the previous medieval buildings. The ruins of the left wing were reconstructed, the tower dates from the 15th century, the rest from the 16th century. They used to have pieces from the time of Louis XIII. and Louis XIV's furnished rooms in the basement are accessible to visitors; Now Montfort Castle can no longer be visited.
In its history, Montfort Castle was conquered, burned down and rebuilt three times. During the Albigensian Crusade in the 13th century, Simon IV de Montfort took the castle. During the Hundred Years' War the castle was destroyed under Louis XI. and then destroyed under Henry IV.

La Roque-Gageac

Highlight • Settlement

From La Roque-Gageac, you can take the famous barges, these boats that were once used to transport wood. You can also take a walk in this pretty village on the edge of the Dordogne, stroll through its charming streets and finish with a visit to the castle.

Single between La Roque-Gageac and Cénac along the Dordogne river

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Fantastically beautiful single trail right on the Dordogne, past some canoe rental stations. The path is easy to drive because there are no roots. It's really fun and one of the most beautiful trails I've ridden so far.

Domme

Highlight • Settlement

The Porte des Tours takes you to the charming old town. It is easy to stroll through the town, past shops and small inns to the La Barr viewing terrace. From there you have a magnificent view of the Dordogne valley.
Special old buildings are the market hall, the minter's house on the Place de la Rode and the market square with its viewing terrace. With a bit of luck, it is also market day.

Porte des Tours

Highlight • Monument

Very beautiful city gate dating from medieval times.
This door leads to the paid car park P1.
On the right tower you can see strange graffiti that you can visit with an audio guide.
