Beynac-et-Cazenac (French pronunciation: [bɛnak e kaznak]; Occitan: Bainac e Casenac) is a village located in the Dordogne department in southwestern France.

The medieval Château de Beynac is located in the commune.

[3] The commune lies on the banks of the river Dordogne 10 km (6.2 mi) southwest of Sarlat-la-Canéda.

Simon de Montfort seized the château at the end of the 12th century, but the people of Beynac recovered their château thanks to the intervention of Philippe Auguste in 1217.

[5] The family de Beaumont du Repaire added "Beynac" to its name and took the courtesy title of "marquis de Beaumont-Beynac"[6] One of the descendants sold the château in 1961.
