Redaktionelle Einordnung
Tradition attaches the castle to Waifer, duke of Aquitaine, and his war against Pepin the Short. The record describes the ensemble on its rock, the rampart wall linking the stables to the Tour de Gourdon, the square guardhouse of 1585 before the gate, the Renaissance windows that replaced Gothic openings, the colonnaded gallery outside the great salon, and a room with frescoes of the fall of Icarus and the burning of Troy. The record describes terraces beside the buildings. It does not document a designed garden or a planting scheme.
Empfehlung
The heritage record describes the castle on a steep rock above the Lot. Confirm current visitor access and the areas included with the operator before travelling; the record does not establish access to the terraces or their edges.

Saint-Cirq-Lapopie
Saint-Cirq-Lapopie occupies a rocky hillside above the Lot in the Causses du Quercy landscape. Narrow streets run between stone houses with steep roofs, a fortified church and the remains of the old château. The upper castle site provides views over the river valley. The village also has an artistic history, notably its association with André Breton and Joseph Rignault. Their legacy is presented through the International Centre for Surrealism and World Citizenship, alongside contemporary exhibitions and gardens. Saint-Cirq-Lapopie is a member of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France. Its architecture, artistic associations and river setting give complementary reasons to explore it.
