Castle, dinosaur tracks, Gallo-Roman remains Discovering the local heritage

A short 25-minute walk from the campsite, to get away from the car for a while. A breathtaking panorama of the river and the Tarn valley below.

As soon as we arrived at the château, I was struck by the imposing silhouette of this medieval fortress, its ramparts standing proud against an azure sky. And the breathtaking panorama of the river and Tarn valley below.

Walking through the entrance, I was immediately transported back to the Middle Ages. Knights in armor, draped in brilliant colors, strolled through the courtyard. One of them, armed with sword and shield, greeted me with a mysterious smile. I even dared to approach for a photo with the children!

We were very lucky, as medieval entertainment was taking place at the château that day. The entertainment was captivating. With enthusiastic children around me, I climbed the ramparts to enjoy a spectacular view over the valley. Later, I attended a medieval combat demonstration: the clash of swords sounded like an echo from the past.

Every corner of the château tells a story. Between the old stones, I could almost hear the whispers of those who lived there centuries ago. This blend of nature, history and interaction totally won me over.

If you’re looking for an outing that combines discovery and emotion, go for it! Château de Peyrelade is a real time machine.

The children are already enchanted by the view, and that’s not the end of the surprises… 🏰 Because on this day, medieval entertainment takes place at the château!
