About ten kilometres from Sarlat, Castelnaud-la-Chapelle overlooks the confluence of the Dordogne and the Céou rivers, offering a splendid view of its neighbours Beynac-et-Cazenac and La Roque-Gageac. Known for its two châteaux—the magnificently restored fortified castle housing the Museum of Medieval Warfare and the Château des Milandes, formerly owned by Josephine Baker—the village and its typical Périgord architecture also boast many attractions...
