Vieillevie: Holiday apartments and houses
Vieillevie combines impressive traces of medieval history with trails, river activities and views over the Lot Valley. The Château de Vieillevie is a defining feature; it was built from around the year 1000 onwards. The complex includes defensive passages, underground tunnels, a 12th-century keep and wooden fighting galleries.
Culture and history
Le Port also tells of the village’s former importance: Gabarres once departed from here, transporting chestnut wood stakes to Bordeaux. At the Château de Vieillevie, guided tours with commentary are offered in the afternoons in July and August, subject to prior reservation.
Hiking and landscape
