Village de La Roque-Gageac

The village can still be discovered from the river axis, by gabare, a traditional flat-bottomed boat.
    Former possession of the Bishops of Sarlat, La Roque Gageac was entirely fortified with its troglodytic fort, its castle, of which some remains can still be seen, and its narrow streets
    A very important fluvial activity and a certain softness of life made of the village one of the most popular places of holiday of the region.
    Guided tours are organized during the summer (information from the Tourist Office of Sarlat Périgord Noir).
