After that were a few days of bastides (fortified towns), fortressess, medieval villages, gardens and the odd chateau.
At Castelnaud, the castle had displays of armoury, furniture and the medieval weapons such as trebuchets, predrero and manganel. The view from the top was again spectacular up and down the Dordogne Valley. It is so hard to imagine the difficulties of their construction ...
