The village of Castelnaud-la-Chapelle overlooks the confluence between the Dordogne and Céou rivers. It faces the beautiful villages of Beynac-et-Cazenac and La Roque-Gageac, and offers panoramic views across the Dordogne Valley.
It is characterised by a series of terraces linked by narrow streets which climb up to the fortified castle on the summit. The castle can be visited and houses a large collection of weapons and armour. Another nearby castle is the Château des Milandes, owned at one time by Josephine Baker.
