We are situated in the Ceou Valley, near the most beautiful and historic part of the Dordogne: gorgeous castles, prehistoric sites.To the east of our area, between Belvès, Monpazier and Domme, lies the Valley of the River Céou. The area is centred around seven pretty villages, including Daglan and Castelnaud, in lovely hilly countryside. The lower end of the valley, and the villages of St Pompon, Daglan and Prats du Perigord is a lovely place to explore. All three are quiet little villages, small yet very attractive, with churches and chateaux dominating the skyline. Villefranche du Perigord, another popular bastide town is close by.
At its northern reaches the River Céou meets the Chateau du Castelnaud, towering high above the Dordogne River. Several stone cabins ('cabanes') can be seen in the area - these date from the years until 1880 when the Céou area produced a renowned wine. In 1880 phylloxera destroyed the vines, but some of the cabins remain.
