What you can expect

Take part in this tour and discover some of the most beautiful villages that the Dordogne region has to offer. One of them are classified as one of the “Most Beautiful Villages of France”. This tour will take you to Domme, Beynac and La Roque Gageac where you will have the opportunity to enjoy a leisurely boat ride along the spectacular Dordogne river.

Drive to the beautiful village of Domme. With its trapezoid city plan, Domme is a bastide, or a fortified medieval town, adapted to the surrounding terrain, and thus falling short of the rectangular city plan characteristic to bastides. The village is classified as one of the “Plus Beaux Villages de France” (“The Most Beautiful Villages of France”).

Then drive to La Roque Gageac and enjoy a peaceful cruise on the the Dordogne River on board an authentic Gabarre to admire mighty castles that loom over the riverside. The Gabarres are traditional flat-bottomed boats that have been used for transporting goods along the Dordogne since the Middle Ages. A trip on one of the Gabarres offers a relaxing way to enjoy the sight of some of the many Dordogne chateaux and villages from the perspective of the river.

Finally, reach Beynac to admire the village and the Castle. This Middle Ages construction, with its austere appearance, is perched on top of a limestone cliff, dominating the town and the north bank of the Dordogne River.

See architectural phenomenon, aided by nature, and discover more about the history of this unusual city on this half-day tour!

After these visits, your guide will drive back to Sarlat.
