For further information

LA ROQUE-GAGEAC Snuggled right up against the sheer limestone cliffs overhanging the river Esperance, this village has preserved the history of the river and of its boatmen of old. Beneath the troglodytic fort, a lavish tropical garden has taken over the medieval lanes.

FURTHER AFIELD...

SAINT-CERNIN-DE- LABARDE (6 km) Go for a ramble around the country paths to discover the village’s numerous water fountains and lookout spots. The XIIth century feudal keep and castle flanked by towers on both sides, are worth a look.

PLAISANCE (5.5 km) This commune

combines the villages of Falgueyrat, Eyrenville and Mandacou. The stones extracted from the latter’s quarries, were used to build the local houses. Today the vineyards, such as Eyrenville, have taken on importance.

BOISSE (4.5 km) Two handsome twin windmills are unexpected in the heart of the village while Boisse Tower, a vestige of the ruined castle, still stands upright.
