Hidden among the countryside of southwestern France, Château de Bonaguil is considered one of the last great medieval castles built in France. Constructed during a period when castles were becoming less important militarily, it represents the peak of defensive medieval design. Its towers, underground passages and complex fortifications create one of the most impressive castle experiences in rural France. Because of its remote countryside location, Bonaguil is especially suited to campers and slow travellers exploring the villages, forests and cycling routes of southwest France.
