グロレジャクでののおすすめグラベルライド

The old church in the village.

The imposing castle on the Dordogne River is noticeable from afar. It's a bit of a challenge to walk up the village to the castle, as the narrow streets are very steep.

Magnificent viewpoint

Magnificent during the ascent, especially during sunrise to have the golden stones.

This castle is a marvel when you arrive in Montfort from any side. It overlooks the Dordogne in a majestic way. It is also clearly visible from the Montfort loop, which is a delight for cycling or, I imagine, motorcycling too. There is a single road for cars and bicycles. Like all the sites in the area, it is magnificent to visit in the early morning during the golden hour for the colors and tranquility.

Splendid! Crossed while arriving from the Groléjac countryside, around 7am in mid-August. The sun lit up the village facades, highlighting the stones. The climb is steep but short and less than in the surrounding countryside. You have to take the time to go to the very top near the church to reach the terrace and admire the view of the Dordogne. Early on, you are alone at the top and you can see the hot air balloons taking off from the Roque-Gageac side. Magnificent discovery. Domme was apparently a transit town during the Hundred Years' War, with the English near Castelnaud and the French on the other side of the Dordogne, like La Roque-Gageac. There is a cave that I was not able to visit at dawn.

Nice to arrive by the cycle path along the Dordogne after coming back down from Domme. Ideal early in the morning to avoid the crowds of families or tourists on the track. Then possibility to reach Roque-Gageac or Beynac afterwards (or Domme if done in the other direction).

It's a very beautiful castle, it can be visited
