La Roque Gageac is a charming village perched on a massive cliff, located on the north side of the Dordogne River. The village is considered one of the most beautiful villages in France – and rightly so, and is the third most visited place in France.
The village has existed since prehistoric times. During the Viking era it served as a city of refuge. The view of the village on the steep cliff above the Dordogne River is one of the famous images of the Dordogne region and most of the houses and buildings of the village are a result of the period The Hundred Years' War In the Middle Ages (12th-13th centuries). However, one of the most beautiful houses in the village was built during the 19th century and is called Chateau de la Malartrie. In addition to touring the charming town, you can also rent boats and go on a cruise on the Dordogne River.
