00:00Well hidden in the forest and about half an hour away from our campground towards Sarlat,

00:19lies the ruin of the Chateau de Camargue in the valley of the Bune.

00:39The wind of history still blows here very noticeably.

01:55Protection Authority, the chateau was gradually restored.

02:03in the Castrum and its organization in the Middle Ages.

02:29At the foot of the rock there is a treasure of parietal art, the engravings of the Cave

02:39were exploring the caves of the region.
