Beynac in the Dorgogne Valley

BEYNAC
(bay-nak)

From Sarlat and the Lascaux II caves we drove out here to Beynac.  This little town in the middle of nowhere was by far one of my favorite towns.  The entire town is made of stone.  We basically just wandered around and soaked in France.  The streets went straight up in areas and our kids thought it was a riot!  I loved how old everything was, but so well maintained, and how quaint it was.


At the top of the town looking down the street towards the Château of Beynac.


At the bottom of town, standing in the parking lot, looking up towards the castle.  This is basically a whole shot of the town, the town has tiny side streets that weave in and around town, which gives the town its unique character.


Someones home - I love the little red light on the right!


At the top of the town is their cemetery. The Château is in the background.

If you are ever in this area of France go check out the town of La Roque-Gageac, a town sculpted out of rock.  We didn't have a lot of time and found out how cool it was (I mean really cool) after we had passed it and were 1/2 hr away ...
