An imposing castle of major historical importance due to it's part in the English invasion during the 100 years' war. Having a great vantage point on top of a hill, the castle and it's town can be seen for miles! Recommended.

The site of the confluence of the rivers Dordogne and Vezere. The two rivers meet here, each passing under it's own bridge. Limeuil is one of the 'beaux villages' of the area, and like all of the bastides has some steep winding and cobbled streets to climb! Stunning riverside location, picnic benches, restaurant/bar overlooking the river, very popular for swimming.
