Beynac-et-Cazenac:
breathtaking panoramas
Groupe Romanée’s Beynac campsite – Le Capeyrou – boasts an exceptional view of an equally exceptional 12th-century château. Set on a rocky spur overlooking the meandering river, the listed building is a privileged observatory of the surrounding area. Very well preserved, it has been the setting for several film shoots (Les Visiteurs, Joan of Arc). Built atop a 150-metre-high cliff, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and the village below. A veritable stone sentinel, this medieval fortress was a French stronghold during the Hundred Years’ War. Its imposing presence enhances the medieval village. Made up of old cobbled streets lined with flowers and lined with houses with lauze roofs, its cliff-side position offers another spellbinding view of the valley. All the more reason to rank Beynac-et-Cazenac among the “Most Beautiful Villages in France”.
