About Carlux
Carlux is a small Dordogne village of around 670 people in the Sarlat arrondissement, on ground that rises from 78 m to 254 m. The remains of its castle sit at the centre. Its story runs from a 12th-century watchtower through English capture and burning in 1406 to 1992, when it passed to the commune, which has been restoring it; the whole complex was classified as a historic monument in 2022. The homes all sit together at one spot in the countryside near Carlux, not in the village itself. For restaurants and evenings out, plan on driving to Sarlat-la-Canéda. The village festival is normally held on the first weekend of June.
