On the banks of the Dordogne River, nestled against an imposing cliff, lies La Roque-Gageac, one of France’s most beautiful villages. With its narrow streets, white limestone houses and exotic gardens, the village exudes a special charm.
Besides admiring the beautiful architecture, you can visit the 12th-century fortress that towers high above the village. For adventurous hikers, there are trails that take you along the steep cliffs and hidden paths.
If you want to explore the Dordogne from the water, you can take a boat trip on a traditional gabarre, a wooden cargo ship used to transport goods. During the trip, you will get a unique perspective of the imposing cliffs, medieval castles and rich nature. For the active visitor, canoes are also available for hire, allowing you to explore the river at your own pace.
