Well known for its two castles - the medieval castle superbly restored with its Museum of War in Middle Age and the Milandes castle, former property of Joséphine Baker -, the village itself and its typical Périgord architecture is also worth discovering.

Listed as a National Historical Monument offering more than 6 kilometers of shaded paths, edged with 150.000 hand-pruned boxwoods aged over hundred years.  The park is situated on a spur and overlooks the entire Dordogne Valley with its chalky cliffs. It reveals the most spectacular panoramic view possible of Périgord.

An original cave presenting almost 500 polychrome pictures of bison, horses, mammoth, deer and cattle, still open to public.  The drawings are engraved and coloured which makes them very clear.

In Périgord Noir, at the foot of a south-facing cliff, the creamy stone houses with their "lauze" stone slab or brown-tiled roofs are mirrored in the waters of the River Dordogne where the famous "gabares" (traditional flat-bottomed boats) laden with goods used to pass in the 19C.
