France – Perigord : Loubressac along the Dordogne Valley – 20 photos

Perched on a promontory that offers a dramatic  view over the Dordogne valley and the surrounding castles, Loubressac is a charming medieval village. The houses built of ochre stone and capped with pointed roofs. The church of Saint Jean Baptiste and the Castle, dating back to the 15th century and 18th century, are worth the short climb to reach them.

Located in South of France 140 km South of Limoges and 143 km North of Toulouse Loubressac is listed on the Most Beautiful villages of France along the Dordogne Valley as well as Carennac and Autoire.
