Canoeing the Dordogne River.
Southwestern France, on the Dordogne River.
The village is called "La Roque Gageac" located in a stunning position on the north bank of the Dordogne River. Backed by a steep cliff, with little to suggest that much has changed there in the last 300 years. The golden yellow houses with their traditional perigord rooves, line the river and spread up the hill behind. On the upper right stands the Chateau de la Malartrie built in Renaissance style, dates back to the 12'th century. In ancient times La Malartrie was a leper hospital.
