Many castles open their doors to you and offer you numerous activities, exceptional events as well as great surprises!

Celebrating castles, what are they?

Legend has it that the good Lord, while dotting the kingdom of France with castles, noticed that his bag was punctured while passing over Périgord, letting countless castles escape. This is how Périgord became the land of 1001 castles!

“Châteaux en fête” brings together numerous castles from Périgord and Lot-et-Garonne which welcome you to help you discover or rediscover these places full of history!

During these two exceptional weeks, this event allows you to live unique experiences between activities, special evenings and festivities to share with family, friends or as a couple!”
