Savignac-Lédrier, industrial heritage and nature

The Savignac-Lédrier castle-forge, with its blast furnace and hydraulic installations, is one of the most remarkable industrial heritage sites in Dordogne.

Refreshments and food on site allow you to fully enjoy this spring day, ideal for combining treasure hunting and a walk in the wooded hills of the Périgord vert.
