Discover Castillon-la-bataille with Canoe Castillonnais Adventure

You are in Castillon-la-Bataille where the Hundred Years War between the French and the English ended in 1453. In the land of history, this walk will lead you on the hillsides overlooking the city and the Dordogne.

Come and explore with me the treasures of this historic town. In the Middle Ages, Castillon was an impressive fortified city with ramparts protecting a castle and a trading town. In 1453, the famous Battle of Castillon, which gave its name to the town, marked the end of the Hundred Years' War with the victory of the French over the English. Discover this city full of history, and don't forget to look around you, many clues are hidden.

In 1908, a young English student, T E Lawrence, became fascinated with the medieval period. He decided to cycle around France on the trail of Richard the Lionheart. After Castillon, he heads for St Michel de Montaigne where he will discover with emotion the tower of the Great Man. Then he heads for the Isle valley. He crosses Montpeyroux, which keeps the traces of a rich history. Past the ruined dungeon of the castle of Gurson, he crosses Carsac and Saint Martin and admires their Romanesque churches. Arriving at Ménestérol behind the church, the river bears witness to the developments made in the 19th century for river transport. The traditional cob and wood architecture of some of the houses is a reminder of the proximity of the Double forest, and as you go up the valley, the bridges over the river alternate with the tunnels under the railway until you reach the station at Mussidan.

This walk allows you to discover the landscapes of the area from the hills of Saint-Magne-de-Castillon.

Near the loop, in the plain of Lamothe Montravel, in Colly, between the Dordogne and the Lidoire, the battle of Castillon took place on 17 July 1453. General John Talbot, who commanded the English army, was defeated and killed. A monument commemorates the event.

While walking along this circuit, pay attention! You will discover at the bend of a path, or beyond a fence, testimonies of the past: wells, dovecotes, mills. You can also meet winegrowers who will tell you about their passion and let you taste their wines.

"Michel de Montaigne, the famous 16th century philosopher and author of a world-renowned work, knew what he was talking about! From the tower of his bookshop, still visible today, he overlooked a hilly landscape, covered with vines and woods, descending peacefully towards the Dordogne valley But let there be no mistake!

The Church of St. Symphorien, which dates from the 18th century, is a baroque building, built from the plans of the architect Portier Its financing was made possible by a bequest made to the town at the end of the 17th century by Henri de La Tour d'Auvergne, Marshal of Turenne (who was Viscount of Castillon).

Planted on the hillside, in the middle of its 24 hectares of vines, this beautiful 18th century residence overlooks the Dordogne valley.

This parish church was built in the 19th century, at a time when worship was being abandoned in the old church of Saint-Martin. The will is then to build a larger building to accommodate the parishioners of Mouliets, Villemartin, and Piquessègue. The church has a single nave vaulted in depressed arch. Also inside, we find, on the reverse side of the west facade, small vaulted and painted chapels called cul-de-four. The church tower, now square, was once pointed.

The chapel of Villemartin dates back to the late Romanesque period (late 12th, early 13th century). The entrance is on the south side through a magnificent portal with a poly-lobed archivolt resting on two columns with sculpted capitals. The chapel is arranged in three bays: the first two make up the nave and the third the sanctuary. This building, built on a rectangular plan, ends with a flat chevet lit by three ogival windows. The chapel belonged to the order of the Hospitallers of Saint John of Jerusalem.
