Monceaux is a small hill from where the Gauls controlled the crossing of the Dordogne, natural border between the country of Armorica and the Mediterranean.

In addition to its archaeological remains, this village is very well located at the edge of the Dordogne to welcome visitors, between water activities and hiking, the delta-plane, the ULM! Walking trails are marked all around.

Festive market in the heart of the village! Every summer, on Thursday, the town organizes a Farmers Country Market, where regional and local products are offered. You are invited to dine on site enjoying the music bands that decorate your evening at each market.
