Explore the medieval bastide
The medieval bastide town of Domme is full of character, with a landscape that changes with the seasons, allowing you to dream away and be surprised by each new discovery.
One of Domme's treasures lies beneath the fortified town. Dressed up in all its finery, the Domme cave is the largest cave in the Périgord Noir. 450 metres of gallery decorated with stalagmites, water mirrors, colonnades and other stalactites await you for a fantastic exploration. Thanks to a panoramic lift at the end of the visit, you can enjoy a breathtaking panorama of the Dordogne valley that's not to be missed. It's an activity that's sure to please children and parents alike. Don't forget your woolly jacket - the tour lasts 45 minutes in temperatures of 13/15°C. A refreshing activity for the summer season!
There are three gates on the ramparts of Dom
me: the Porte des Bos, the Porte de la Combe and the Porte des Tours. The latter, which rises up in front of you, is impressive. It is made up of two half-towers that were used as prisons by 70 Templars in the 14th century. During their imprisonment, the soldier monks engraved the walls with enigmatic drawings that make the place absolutely unique. The Tourist Office offers a fascinating interpretation of this graffiti for anyone who wants to extend their visit.image
If you don't want to miss out on all that Domme has to offer, it's also a good idea to take a walk along the cliff, 150 metres up towards the public garden, where you'll find a beautiful orientation table. As you walk past the pretty abbey church, or from the belvedere, the view over the Dordogne valley is exceptional. On a clear day, you can see the Château de Beynac, the Château de Montfort and the village of La Roque-Gageac.
Located in an old traditional house with remarkable architecture, the Oustal du Périgord is the Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions. With a collection of objects and themes such as the bedroom and ceremonial dress, it brings to life the daily life of the last century and immerses you in the atmosphere of bygone days. The museum is both fascinating and perfectly designed, but it's also fun for all the family.
