Park in the car park on the banks of the Dordogne.
(S/E) From the car park, take the D703 on the right for 20 metres, cross it and take the narrow street opposite which leads to the castle. Take the sloping lane on the left, then turn left again onto Chemin de Peirelene for 150 metres. Go through the gate and take the path on the right into the forest for 350 metres. Follow the fence around the house until you reach the road.
(1) Turn right to follow the road, which becomes a carriageway (ignore the path on the left). Further on, pass Tral Pech and, at the fork, continue left.
(2) Turn left onto the paved road. After about 200 metres on your right (off the track), a sign invites you to admire the Château de Beynac in its green setting. Otherwise, continue along the road, pass a farm on your left and after 350 metres you will arrive at a horse riding centre (on your right). Continue to the crossroads just after the centre. Leave the road on your right that leads back to Beynac.
(3) Immediately after, take the tree-lined path on your right (on the left of a post box), then, at the end of the path, turn right onto a quiet little road. Pass a few houses lined up on your left. At the crossroads, continue to the right and follow this road for about 400 metres.
(4) Turn left onto a road that quickly turns into a path and go through the forest.
(5) At the end of this road, turn right onto the shaded path. When it bends to the right, continue straight ahead. Further on, this path runs alongside the Ruisseau du Treuil stream on your right, then ends at a road in Serneix.
(6) As you pass through this hamlet, admire the porch of the pretty house on the right. Take the road on the right towards Le Treuil and continue on the road on the right. After about 400m, take the road on the right towards Château de Beynac. Continue on this road for about 300m, ignoring a road that branches off to the right and towards the rear.
(7) Turn right at the next road and follow the road as it curves to the left towards La Porte. Take the second path on the left for 150 metres, then turn left onto the road. The road bends to the left. Ignore the turnings on the right and the road bends left again. Take the path opposite at the edge of the forest and follow it until you reach a road. Follow it to the left until you reach a road. You will then have a view of Château de Beynac.
(8) Follow the road to the left, ignoring the small roads on the left and right, until you reach the cemetery. Continue along the road, which soon turns right, and pass behind the castle.
(9) Continue to the intersection with Chemin des Escassols and descend carefully to the left along the narrow (slippery) lane that leads back to Rue Costa des Port, then turn right to arrive at Rue de la Balme. Return to the left towards the car park where you started (S/E).
