All year round, visit this sumptuous castle, its falconry and its French garden classified as a "remarkable garden". Enough to delight fans of architecture and Joséphine Baker who can admire her stage outfits.

The Château of Puymartin, a listed monument, is ideally located 20 minutes from the Chalets du Périgord. A visit to this place traces 800 years of family history through the remarkably well-maintained and decorated rooms. The visit can be done alone to go at your own pace or accompanied by a guide to know all the anecdotes.
This castle in Dordogne is also full of mystery with the legend of the white lady. Indeed, during the wars of religion, Thérèse of Saint-Clar was surprised by her husband and locked up in one of the towers of the castle. To find out more, you can participate in the escape games organized on site.
