The Beynac-et-Cazenac website (http://www.beynac-et-cazenac.com/) describes how a walk from the banks of the Dordogne, up the steep cobbled streets of the village to the chateau, 200 metres above the river, is like being in a time machine which, with each upward step, takes one from the 21st century back hundreds of years to medieval times.
The cobbles, the dilapidated walls, the old doors and windows under typical Perigordian roofs give one a glimpse of medieval life - simple, unhurried and without the conveniences we take for granted.
