The commune of Monpazier is, with its 53 hectares of surface area, the smallest in Dordogne. In return, its bastide is one of the most beautiful.
If you have already been to Mirepoix in Ariège, you will be surprised by the resemblance of these two splendid medieval cities. In both villages you find these magnificent arcades where restaurants and shops do business.

The square is also superb in terms of its dimensions, with a large period wooden market hall in its center. It's a real journey through time. It feels like it, it’s very exotic! Note that some houses seem to lean dangerously, as if the ground is not straight.

Place des Cornières, Monpazier

Highlight • Historical Site

Great national site, no less than 32 monuments classified as Historic Monuments, considered as the model bastide among the 300 bastides of the Great South-West... There are countless distinctions granted to Monpazier to salute, but also to protect, the exceptional heritage of this bastide founded in 1284 by Edward I of England.

Biron Castle

Highlight • Castle

This magnificent castle is open to visitors. In summer you will find many activities there, even including night markets within its walls. It is located on a hill and has defensive constructions. It is a fine example of a castle.

Like most castles in France, numerous architectural transformations have taken place over the centuries. All year round, magnificent works of art are exhibited in the large rooms. One of the owners of this castle, Charles de Biron, met a rather tragic end because suspected of plotting against King Henry 4, he was beheaded in the courtyard of the Bastille prison castle in Paris in the 17th century.
