Waoh! Il ne faut/fallait pas avoir le vertige pour vivre là! Mais déjà, quand il a été construit, cela faisait un côté par lequel l'ennemi avait peu de chances de passer. Le château a assez bien conservé son style du Moyen-Age on dirait. L'endroit est superbe, et la nature a l'occasion de rester à sa place un peu plus bas.

Merci Jean pour cette magnifique photo prise dans ta région...j'admire l'audace des constructeurs de l'époque qui n'hésitaient pas à construire sur des 'a-pics' à seule fin de n'avoir évidemment qu'une seule entrée à surveiller ! Je suppose les murs colossalement épais, et il me semble voir de petites fenêtres, voire des meurtrières qui devaient permettre aux gardes de l'époque d'avoir un oeil quand même sur leurs arrières !!!

The construction began in the XII th century, and changes were made to the eighteenth century. There is the link for the wikipedia page, but... in french :-) http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C3%A2teaux_de_Bruniquel

Très belle forteresse, avec des fenêtres aménagées début de la Renaissance.

Fantastique prise de vue de ce château. L' année dernière nous avons passé une dizaine de jours dans le Périgord et j' avais photographié le château de Monfort ( une autre architecture mais posé d' une façon similaire sur la falaise ). Je te l' enverrai prochainement.

Looks it pretty good shape for something that old. We don't have anything from the XIi century in the States. Old to us is 1700's.

Fabulous shot I just love castles would love to go and explore many of them, we only have one castle in New Zealand.. I wonder if they had an engineers report done on the cliff before building there to ensure it wasn't going to fall away lol.
