La Roque-Gageac

La Roque-Gageac is a beautiful village tucked into the cliffs on the north side of the Dordogne river. There is a mix of small traditional Perigord houses as well as grander houses among which is the Chateau de la Malatrie dating from the 19th century.The whole village is in a ‘tropical style’ garden made possible by the protection offered by the cliffs. The troglodyte fort set in the cliffs above La Roque-Gageac is fascinating.
