The large lake of Saint-Estèphe, in the Dordogne, is a picturesque site given over to swimming, fishing and various water sports.
A few metres from the lake, a path leads to the 'Devil's Rosary', a jumble of round rocks through which a stream flows. The 'rocking stone' is an enormous granite block that has fallen onto a flat base, where it rests in balance and can rock.
The Trémolat bend is one of the most famous meanders of the Dordogne, formed by the river between the communes of Trémolat and Mauzac-et-Grand-Castang.
Listed on the supplementary inventory of historic monuments, this château dates from the 15th and 16th centuries.

Overlooking the village square, the château de Marthonie combines in its two wings sharing a magnificent straight-flight staircase the elegance of the Renaissance with the rigour of the classical period.
Set on an island, at the gates of the Périgord Limousin nature park, the charming town of Brantôme is one of the prettiest towns of the Green Périgord.
