Chateau de Biron

About

The Château de Biron stands proudly in the heart of the Périgord, a French heritage jewel that has witnessed nearly a thousand years of history. From its medieval origins to the elegant Renaissance façades that dominate its silhouette, the castle offers an immersive journey through the ages. Visitors can stroll through its vaulted kitchens, explore the exquisite Salon de l’Art and the historic Chapelle Seignoriale, and enjoy panoramic views carved into the surrounding countryside. The site is famed not only for its architectural splendor but also as a sought‑after film set; productions such as "Fortune de France" and "Les Traîtres" have brought its halls to life on screen. Entry to the castle is free for children under five, while adults pay a modest €9.70 and older children €6.40. The castle’s opening hours adjust to the seasons, offering generous daylight from September to April and extended late‑evening visits in July and August. Alongside the traditional free‑entry tour, the château hosts guided walks, temporary art exhibitions, and seasonal workshops featuring historical reenactments and craft demonstrations. Whether you’re a history enthusiast tracing the lineage of the Gontaut‑Biron family, a family seeking a unique rallying point for a day in the Dordogne, or a film lover eager to walk the sets of your favorite period dramas, the Château de Biron invites you to step into a living storybook where stone, art, and culture converge.
