We visited here at the end of a long day but it was well worth it. The Chateau is ruined but very negotiable and you can really visualise the way it would have looked. It is in a beautiful setting in a valley.Get an English guidebook and it does add a lot of information about the place. it is a bit of a walk from the carpark and it is a bit of a hike to the top but it is well worth it. They also accept dogs on a lead which is great.
And fascinating, loved the history, the troglodyte caves, the castle, everything. Off season the we couldn't actually go in the ruins but worth it just to walk around.
Very attractive Chateau and beautiful gardens. However, access to the inside is by guided group tour only (included in price), which is only available in French.
It is about a 20 minute walk down to the castle. Allow plenty of time as it takes longer coming back. Somebody younger and in good shape could probably cut 5 minutes off of my time. It overlooks a meadow and stream. The only toilet facilities are at the car park.
Well off the tourist route and once you arrive at the car park you have a short walk down to the Chateau itself but the effort is worth it. The Chateau is ruined and more typical of a visit to an English Castle rather than what you would picture a French Chateau to be like. Because of this it was interesting and climbing high to the top of the main tower was great. Enjoyable visit if you are in the area and have the time.
600m walk through the woods and suddenly you are in a beautiful little valley with the ruin of the Chateau de Commarque overlooking it. Part restored, part ruin it is a delight to walk around. And first thing in the morning you have the place almost to yourself.
You have partly reconstructed ruins, troglodytes caves, and scenery, plus the history of the castle and it's story of rediscovery. It was well worth the 20- minute detour from the route to Les Eyzes to visit. The walk from the car park is about 15 minutes, and the path is rocky and not suitable for both pushchairs or people with issues walking. Otherwise, it's a nice walk through some woods. Toilets only at the car park. Ices on sale as you leave. The people who own and are rescuing this place should be congratulated.
Its a lovely reconstruction of old ruins but nothing more. We spent a good few hours wondering about and playing medieval knights. I wouldn't say it's a must do but definitely worth swinging by if you have time and aren't far away.
This is a challenging walk, especially the beginning, on a stony path from a free car park. It is worth the hike (in good weather, at least), as the views are sensational. I wish we had gone to lunch first, and allowed ore time to see this sight as it is quite large and a slow drive because of winding roads.
The chateau is in a very beautifull setting and it's quite interesting as well. You get a very good description in your own language. Also the staff is very friendly. They informed after my plans (as a single hiker) and offered me any help and water I needed.
