Very beautiful medieval village, crowned by a castle.

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.

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).

old, small chapel on the road to St. Pompon

very nice, small outdoor day cafe (closed on Thursdays)

Morning outing

Once you’ve parked, the first mile or 2 is on road, then it’s off roading down a steep track of loose rocks, may need to push on some of it. On the outskirts of Daglan and all the way to Castelnaut super surface, quiet roads, beautiful scenery. On the way back the loose surface wasn’t as bad.
