The peak season for visiting Castelnaud-La-Chapelle is during the summer months of June to August, with July being the most popular time for holiday rentals. This vibrant period is great for travellers who enjoy warm weather, as temperatures often reach the high 20s to low 30s Celsius, making it ideal for exploring the stunning Dordogne region. Visitors can take part in outdoor activities like kayaking on the Dordogne River, wandering through picturesque medieval streets, or indulging in local cuisine at bustling markets.
In July, the lively atmosphere is complemented by various festivals and events, providing an authentic taste of French culture. This month attracts many tourists, so booking in advance is advisable to secure the best accommodations.
For those seeking a more tranquil experience, consider visiting in November. While this is considered the low season, it comes with its own charm. The crowds have thinned, allowing you to enjoy the serene beauty of the region at a more leisurely pace, perhaps even discovering hidden gems in the idyllic countryside.
