Najac Castle

Beautiful town with a castle perched high on an escarpment. Alovely walk from the shop-lined square up to the castle. Climb the circular narrow stairs to the top of the keep for amazing views.

The village and valleys surrounding Najac castle are stunning!

This fortress/castle is one of the most impressive ones you will ever see. It's the location that makes it.

Sitting on a - at times steep - hill, you can see it from far away. And when you are walking down on the Rue Du Chateau (coming from the village), then it's just a sight to behold. It's picture-perfect.

It goes a good way down from the village....until it goes back up again to reach the castle. It's a fairly short walk - a lot shorter than it might seem.

If you have a stroller or a wheelchair it's quite an obstacle though. And the steep stairs and the cobble stones can get pretty slippery, even when it's not raining. So be aware of that and be careful.

We didn't go inside the castle - we had our Bulldog with. But the best sight of it isn't up-close anyways...it's on Rue Du Chateau when you walk towards it.

A wonderful, pretty and magical fortress. A must-see.

We had a great time here. My husband was cycling to Najac so while we wandered around waiting for him we climbed all the way to the Château up the tiny roads. My two children had great fun running around the site discovering little alcoves and investigating open areas. The view is fantastic from all sides.

What a great trip! The hike up was not the easiest stroll, however many places to take a breather and see the views. From inside your can climb to the top- the spiral staircase are narrow, but worth the climb. You can see the town of Najac from each level and the secret passway is really fun. A great time!

Nice views over the surrounding nature and Najac town.

A great walk up to the castle. The view from the top is priceless.

I love everything about this place!!. One of the most beautiful villages I've ever been to here in France by far

It was really beautiful and interesting my family loved it and found it beautiful. We learnt a lot and took many photos as the surrounding area it beautiful

A scene right out of your favorite epic movie, the Château de Najac is located in Najac, France's Aveyron department, in southern France. The castle was built in 1253 by the villagers on the orders of Alphonse de Poitiers, brother of Saint Louis, on the site of an older castle built in 1100 by Bertrand St Giles.

A great castle from the 13th centuary! The guide is super sympathetic and fun! It was an awesome experience.

Well worth a visit - very interesting

Beautiful medieval architecture and wonderful slow pace of life

Fabulous visit to Najac castle, and pretty little town a great experience.
Enjoying a nice Cake & coffee at the British Tea shop . Many eateries to also chose from .

A very special place of history in a unique setting. Wonderful views of the surrounding river valley and countryside. The guided tour in French was very thorough. Facilities are limited but there are some lovely places nearby with a view of the castle.

Wonderful sites! Bring your walking shoes and be able bodied. Lots of elevated walking.

It's a really nice little town and when you first glimpse the castle from the main street it looks fabulous. The town it itself is not very big, but it's nice.
There is not a lot of restaurant so you might be better off with a picnic. The bakery does some sandwiches & you can go back fir a sweet.
The castle is nive & there's quite a lot of it. If you are in the area, it's worth spending some time there.

I’ve visited lots of times with different friends who are always impressed. Last week I took my friend and her two children (6 & 1) who loved it! It’s so pretty, space to run around, beautiful views, and friendly staff who speak English (always a bonus when my French is rusty)! We got the the top just as the heavens opened and worried about the buggy left at the entrance; we needn’t have worried, the kind staff had covered it for us with a plastic sheet. A kind act worth acknowledging!

It's a one day tour. Village is very pretty and the chateau has its own history. Many hotels nearby and easy to commune.

Stunning location views nice town definitely worth a visit
