View from Castelnaud towards Beynac

The next chateau up the river. When Castelnaud was English, Beynac was French, which reduced the amount of travelling required to fight. Who knows, the knights may have even operated a horse pool scheme. The Dordogne river was the border between France and England in those days.
The rivalry between these chateaux forms the setting for Michael Crichton's book 'Timeline'. Posted by Picasa
