Castles open this weekend in Dordogne
34 castles open
Weekend of Saturday, October 31 and Sunday, November 1
34 castles in Dordogne welcome visitors on the weekend of Saturday, October 31 and Sunday, November 1. For 19 of them we know the Saturday and Sunday hours; the other 15 announce a season covering these dates without publishing a weekly timetable: call before you go.
Opening hours come from the castle’s official website, or from Google when the site does not publish any, and are re-read every ninety days. Seasons are copied word for word from the castle’s website. A castle can close without notice: its entry lists a phone number.
