Truffle hunting in the Dordogne
Perched high above France’s Dordogne River, the Château de Beynac is one of the best-preserved castles of the Périgord Noir region. This 12th-century fortress has been meticulously restored and its dungeon, 13th century toilets and magnificent views of the Valley of the Five Chateaux are among its attractions.
