We would love to hear about your recent experience. Please share any pictures and review of the place you visited. We greatly appreciate your feedback!
Nestled in the heart of the Dordogne region, La Roque-Gageac is a picturesque medieval town that seems untouched by time. This charming village, built into the cliffs along the Dordogne River, is renowned for its narrow, winding streets, honey-colored stone houses, and breath-taking views. The town’s unique location and architecture have earned it the status of one of the most beautiful villages in France.
While visiting La Roque-Gageac, one must explore the Troglodyte Fort, an ancient fortification carved into the cliffside, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past. Another must-see is the Exotic Garden, a lush, tropical paradise that thrives in the town’s microclimate. This garden, with its towering palm trees and vibrant flowers, is a stark contrast to the traditional French countryside and offers a stunning view of the Dordogne River.
