Dordogne - 'Most Beautiful Villages'
Self-drive
Directly east of Perigord, the rocky limestone causses of the
Quercy plateau are the setting for many of the “plus beaux
villages" - "most beautiful villages” in France.
Chief among these is Rocamadour, the gravity defying medieval
village and place of pilgrammage since the middle ages. The local
song describes the village –
“The houses on the stream,
The churches on the houses,
The rocks on the churches,
The castle on the rocks.”
Other villages on the “most beautiful” list include
Collonges-la-Rouge with its red stone houses, Carennac with its
fine Renaissance houses, and Turenne, built on a spiral pattern.
There are many others, including La Roque-Gageac, its narrow front
clinging to the cliffside overlooking the river, and Domme, a
classic bastide town.
