Meet the castles
and mills of unexpected Périgord

The castles and mills of Périgord are an integral part of the region’s identity. In the Périgord Inattendu, they dot the valleys and forests, silent witnesses to a rich, living past. Here, each stone preserves the memory of a way of life, a skill or a historical episode. Whether they are still inhabited, open to visitors or transformed into cultural venues, these buildings offer a fascinating plunge into past centuries.

From the majestic Château de Clauzuroux to the authentic Moulin des Terres Blanches, each site tells its own unique story. Some can be discovered along a footpath, others during summer events or guided tours. These treasures of the local heritage are not just to be admired: they are to be experienced, listened to, sometimes even tasted… A privileged way to discover a Périgord that is more intimate, more human, and deeply attached to its roots.
