Some cave dwellings from ancient times and some 12th century houses and building. A unique view in this nice village.
It's some stairs to go to reach the old upper town area but worth the climb. It's a very nice area to walk in a more authentic area with lots of ancient houses, all constructed right below the huge limestone rockformation above. Along the way some nice panoramas at the Dordogne river below. At the end of this road you'll find a very nice botanical garden, "Bambousaie de la Roque-Gageac", with lots of huge tropical plants like banana- and palm trees and a impressive bamboo forrest. Absolutely a good reason to visit this very nice French village.

La Roque-Gageac - This village is one of the most famous villages in the Dordogne department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, southwestern France. La Roque-Gageac, perched above the Dordogne river, below a huge limestone cliff since the 12th century. The village is a member of the "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France" association, indeed one of the most beautiful villages of France.
