Beaumont-du-Périgord Travel Guide: 5 reviews and 25 photos

How We Got There

The town of Beaumont-du-Perigotd is approached through the beautiful Perigord countryside. A car is needed to visit a group of these bastide towns. We drove here after visiting Monpazier (See our Tips). A most characteristic view is had by walking out to the remaining ramparts at the Luzier gate beyond town.
