Hautefort Castle is one of the few surviving examples of classical architecture in southwest France. Situated on a rocky spur overlooking the village of Hautefort, it offers a majestic silhouette that is more reminiscent of the Loire Valley châteaux than the region's typical medieval fortresses.

Very pleasant visit to this very well maintained castle. The gardens are absolutely stunning. It's like being in a cartoon at times, the paths and the flowerbeds are cut with a line. Very beautiful surroundings, very green landscapes. We feel good in this place.
