About Bourdeilles

A marvellous medieval village set on the banks of the Dronne River, Bourdeilles is dominated by two connected châteaux. Winding lanes lead towards the riverbank, and the village bustles with independent shops, cafés and markets. Beyond Bourdeilles lie the wonders of the Dordogne, including historic Brantôme. Brilliant for couples, families or groups of friends travelling together, our pick of the best places to stay in Bourdeilles is an affordable base with heaps of classic character.

Comprising a 13th-century fortress and a Renaissance castle, the Château de Bourdeilles is a fascinating landmark. Take a guided tour to absorb richly decorated Renaissance interiors, full of art and antique furnishings, and to understand the story of the Counts of Périgord, who once resided in the castle. Don’t miss the Sunday morning market in the Place de La Halle, nor visits to the boulangerie for fresh pastries before leisurely riverbank strolls. Head to nearby Brantôme to admire the Grottes de l'Abbaye de Brantôme, carved into the rock face, or to go kayaking on the Dronne River.

Kick back at one of the best places to stay in Bourdeilles after days of hiking, cycling, swimming and fishing with the whole family.
