Château de Hautefort, Renaissance palace in Périgord Noir, France
The stone castle rises above the Auvézère Valley with two wings ending in round towers and symmetrical French gardens surrounding the structure.
The castle's transformation from an 11th-century fortress to a residence occurred when architect Nicolas Rambourg redesigned it in the 17th century.
The interior displays period furniture, tapestries, and paintings from the 17th century, presenting the lifestyle of French nobility.
Visitors can access the castle daily from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with adult tickets costing 12.50 euros and children's tickets at 8.50 euros.
The castle grounds contain a 30-hectare park with a 250-year-old Lebanese cedar tree and experimental gardens focusing on ancient plant varieties.
