You're standing at the Château de Beynac, high above the Dordogne. Take a look up. The castle sits on the edge of a limestone cliff, some 150 metres above the river, keeping watch over the village at its feet. It looks stern and austere, and that's no accident. This was a fortress, not a fairy-tale palace.
