LA ROQUE-GAGEAC: THE GOLDEN TROGLODYTE VILLAGE

This tour is currently in development.

Welcome to our immersive audio tour of La Roque-Gageac, the "Golden Village" nestled between cliff and river! Dramatically built into a steep ochre limestone cliff along the Dordogne River, this extraordinary settlement has been recognized as one of France's most beautiful villages.

You will discover:

• The remarkable cliff-side troglodyte dwellings carved directly into the rock
• The exotic botanical garden thriving in the village's unique microclimate
• Narrow medieval streets that wind between golden stone houses
• The fortified church that served as both sanctuary and defense
• Spectacular views over the Dordogne River and valley
• The village's strategic importance during centuries of conflict
• The prehistoric origins of human habitation in the cliff caves

You'll love this tour if you are:

• An architecture enthusiast interested in troglodyte settlements and river-side development
• A history lover fascinated by prehistoric and medieval habitation
• A nature enthusiast interested in the unique microclimate and botanical garden
• A photography lover seeking picturesque river and cliff views
• Anyone interested in traditional Périgord village life and architecture

Please note: While the main street follows the riverside, several sections of the tour include steep paths climbing the hillside. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

Our ChroniQ app uses GPS technology to trigger stories at exactly the right moment, allowing you to focus on the magnificent surroundings while discovering the village's most fascinating spots. Historical photographs and illustrations help bring the past to vivid life at each stop.
