Limeuil - Townhall
The village of Limeuil, located at the confluence of the Dordogne and Vézère rivers historically both commercially and strategically on the highways of trade. This region was primarily a wine-producing area for subsequent delivery downstream to Bordeaux, on large, flat-bottomed "gabarres". Nowadays a very nice historical village and on the list of the "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France", the most beautiful villages of France.

Rocamadour, Lot, Midi-Pyrénées, France - 31 December 2010
This view looks southwest from the town of L'Hospitalet 1.5 kilometers away. The cliffside town of Rocamadour rises 400' above the Alzou River (a tributary of the Dordogne River).
The weather was extremely poor for photography, so we chose to shoot and process our first HDR panorama. This image was stitched from 100 full-frame, landscape-oriented images taken over a time span of ~ 8-1/2 minutes. The scene was shot in 4 rows of 5 frames, with each frame bracketed over 5 exposures from 1/50 to 1/8 seconds. The rough panorama image covers ~ 90° horizontal x 36° vertical (before cropping). The final result is clearly no substitute for a clear sky and early morning sunrise, but then again we only had one morning available to us.

La Roque-Gageac is considered by many to be one of the prettiest villages in France.
The Chateau de la Malatrie is seen in the background, at the bend in the river.
The Dordogne River and its watershed are a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
Panorama stitched from two hand-held photos.
The small medieval village of Limeuil is located at the confluence of the Vezere River and Dordogne River in the Acquitane region of France. The Vezere River valley has numerous remains of the oldest inhabitants of Europe (with lots of cave paintings), and this town, located where the two rivers join, was of importance in medieval time periods.
After visiting the newly opened museum of pre-history in Les Eyzies in the morning (outstanding museum), I stopped for lunch in Limeiul, where the two rivers join. I made a few wrong turns this day on what became the longest, hottest and hardest (unplanned major climbs) day of our Dordogne Cycle tour. More info on Limeuil can be found here: www.france4families.com/Dordogne/RegionsDordogneTownsLime...
The New York Times ran an informative article on the National Museum of Pre-History, and the many ancient historical sites in the Vezere River valley just before our trip. query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F04E7DD1731F936A...
Rivers of endless pleasure. These people must be Dutch tourists on holiday, they're building dykes for fun.

Dominating the Dordogne valley, like a king on a throne. In medieval times it must have been even more impressive then today during a spectacular canoe trip on the Dordogne river.
The various old bridges accross the Dordogne river are part of the Dordogne valley identity and should be a history protected view. A bailey bridge and further downstream the unfinished construction of an awfull concrete modern bridge will ruin the view. Today it looks like the bridges are waiting to be demolished again, restoring the unique valley identity.

Chateau de Beynac - Château de Beynac (Est. 12th century), built by the barons of Beynac. Perched on top of a limestone cliff with double crenellated walls, moats and barbican. During the Hundred Years' War the Dordogne was the border between France and England, The fortress at Beynac was in French hands and on the opposite bank of the river, the Château de Castelnaud (build in the same century) was held by the English. The Dordogne region was the theatre of numerous struggles for influence, rivalries and occasionally battles but the castles fell more often through ruse and intrigue rather than by direct assault. The Château de Beynac is where Richard Cœur de Lion, King of England (1189–1199) died. Nowadays it's one of the best preserved castles, a monument of history and absolutely worth to enjoy the view and to visit.

A misty view along the Dordogne River from the hilltop bastide town of Domme. It's a big call but I think this area is my favourite part of France.

We took this trip from La Roque Gageac on the Dordorgne River on a gabarre, a traditional wooden boat based on those used in the 18th and 19th centuries to transport goods and especially wine down the river to the ocean. The Dordogne and its watershed are a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
After nearly a century of service, the Pont du Garrit was closed to traffic in 1991, with the opening of the Pont de la Vallée. Cyclists, hikers, vacationers, and fishermen have happily taken possession of the structure, demonstrating their support for heritage and ecological tourism. The "Pont du Garrit" association now promotes non-motorized tourism on this part of the Route du Pont Eiffel.

Berbiguieres: Architecture Photography
The Garrit metal bridge spans the Dordogne River between Berbiguères and Saint-Cyprien. Opened in 1894, this bridge is part of the industrial heritage of the 19th century. It replaced the ferry that had previously been used by the local population and tobacco growers in the Saint-Cyprien region.
This metal bridge spans the Dordogne River for a length of just over 176 meters. It consists of three massive metal trusses, each with a span of 67.50 meters for the central section and 54 meters for the bank sections. The main girders are large-mesh trusses, 5.83 meters high and with a 3.80-meter spacing. The 2.40-meter wide roadway was designed for one-way traffic. Traffic on the bridge was expected only on market days in Saint-Cyprien, and then only in one direction: there in the morning and back in the evening.
