Imagine :
" At the end of your holiday journey, perhaps you will have followed the river Dordogne, found the famous Perigord Noir area, and certainly passed beneath some castle or fortified town, perched on a cliff.
The village of La Roque Gageac is very near, but you leave the lively valley to climb up a small road to the hills.
The slope is short (1 mile) but charming: the noise abates, the atmosphere becomes quiet and the view expands. A stone wall, the entrance to Roquecombe, and here is the place!
The cottages extend all around the little valley. You recognise your own cottage, but you turn your eyes a moment towards the Dordogne valley, now visible down through the hills … "
You were looking for a holiday rental. You have found a quiet place, so far from everywhere … but so near everywhere.

The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Dordogne region
"It is a magic and luminous region where the rivers Vézère and Dordogne run. Located in the south-east of the Dordogne department, it owes its name to the dark foliage of its forests. It is a destination of charm which conceals envied treasures : the cradle of Prehistory, the best of the Middle Ages, castles and gardens, and many other marvelous things to discover as well. Its capital Sarlat, town of Art and exceptional History, shelters under its old stones an architectural heritage of priceless value."
On the banks of the Dordogne, the village of La Roque-Gageac is located in the heart of this region. La Roque Gageac is an ideal starting point to discover landscapes, monuments and sites spread among winding roads, valleys and slopes.
Sarlat area
- Want a castle ? Castelnaud, Beynac, Montfort are less than ten minutes from the domain.
- Want a garden ? The exotic garden of La Roque Gageac is nearby, Marqueyssac and its famous boxwood is located a few minutes away, and Eyrignac is not far to the North.
- Want a fortified town? Domme, with its doors full of history, its caves with colonnades, its panoramic view, is located on the hill facing the domain.
- Want to visit Sarlat ? Eight kilometres of hill road with beautiful landscapes lead you from Roquecombe to the centre of the medieval city. The famous market, paved lanes and night animations are some of Sarlat's treasures to discover.
- Want to canoe ? Or maybe take a Gabare (flat-bottomed boat) trip on the Dordogne river, cramming of geese, fly in a Montgolfiere or thrill to a first flight in a helicopter. You can do all this in La Roque Gageac, at the bottom of the domain's hill. Plus you can also play golf and ride horses in the adjacent villages !
All the above activities are only a part of what can be seen and done in the region : not forgetting prehistoric caves, Norman churches, theme parks and more … Let's talk about this together in La Roque Gageac.
