20의 생퐁퐁가지 명소 & 주요 장소

15th-century castle, once home of Josephine Baker, with exhibits chronicling her life.

From La Roque-Gageac, drive along the Dordogne early in the morning before the pedestrians and turn left at the campsite to avoid the main road with a lot of traffic from cars and trucks.

A detour off the road at dawn in the middle of summer that turned out to be a very good choice. The fun part is between La Roque Gageac and the campsite along this route. I recommend taking the smaller roads near the campsite to avoid the main road crossing the Dordogne by the bridge, which can get busy after 8 a.m.

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).

Morning outing

Beautiful castle- no dedicated bike parking found

Domme is a small town high above the Dordogne valley with pretty narrow streets and a street lined with tourist souvenirs. From the viewpoint you have a great view of the Dordogne flowing through the valley. Tourists appreciate this and there are plenty of large parking spaces. There are three possible ascents by bike, of which the one through Cenac-et-Saint-Julien below is the steepest and perhaps the most beautiful.
