See visit-dordogne-valley.co.uk. Dwarfed by a substantial 15thC church, Saint-Cirq’s ruined château and handful of honeyed stone houses cling to the limestone cliffs bound up with creepers and battened with timbers. The old woodturner’s village is all towers and turrets, mullioned windows and tiny lanes dotted with shops and artisan’s workshops. To see it at its best, try to stay overnight.
