Le Saltimbanc - Castelnaud-la-Chapelle

Beautiful castle overlooking the village. Choose to park downstairs in the village where at the top of 10 minutes of the castle they are all paid (see possibility of free parking on the right by exiting the bridge. From the village you will follow the walking path that goes up and crosses the old part of the village where the other option that passes through the upper part. At the castle two choices the solo visit or accompany. There are many fun and historical animations to see. The visit is not possible if we have a mobility problem. The toilets are on site and possible restoration in the village.

Very pretty village at the foot of the castle, the outside is interesting, the collection of weapons also, in my opinion, it is not to put new objects like this cousin. The history of the castle is very present. climbing the stairs in turn in the direction of the visit it is necessary to make the effort as even! very beautiful view of the wall. Pay attention to the parking lot, and the path is a descent and one side.

Superb castle, with an exceptional medieval museum. The castle is beautiful with breathtaking landscapes, mini-videos in French and English that retrace various stories of the castle. A great funny guide made us share his knowledge. To visit!

The castle of castelanaud is a very beautiful state of conservation. it is possible to park at the bottom of the village, but you will have to walk 10 to 15 min or reach the parking lot at the top. more in the middle of the month of August, the parking lot is very often complete while those of the top often have many free places and even offer pitches for campers. more reason to try the car parks upstairs. which will also happen by the very charming village of the summit with its many clusters. The castle is centered around medieval wars and especially on the 100-year war. There is essentially a museum of weapons used at the time (white weapons, artillery, seats and jet weapons) with a very beautiful model animated with its and the light of the French battle to resume the castle of the hands of the English. on the other hand, it is absolutely not furnished. Finally, the castle also offers many performances of actors, animations around the medieval siege as well as an introduction to the forge techniques of the time. The approach is resolutely educational and is rather well done. It'll delight the children. However, wait for good shoes, because you do not get up and down. And a gurus in the summer, because it's very hot.

Very beautiful castle!!! We were able to attend several animations while being free in our visit. The stroller obviously serves nothing, but the number of steps does not block the young children (1 year and 4 years) a bit of the arms on a few stairs. collection of impressive weapons, such as armor... a very beautiful view of the surroundings
