Built in the 16th century on a limestone cliff above the Dronne river, the castel de la Hierce stands at Brantôme en Périgord, amid a landscape dotted with troglodyte shelters. The same family, the Dumoulin de la Plante, has lived in and maintained it for more than a century, keeping furniture and objects from the 16th to the 19th century inside. Visitors can see a kitchen filled with old utensils, a drawing room with taxidermied animals, and a dining room still set with Limoges porcelain.
