Domme Things to Do Tips by King_Golo

Strolling through Domme's Streets

Domme is a nice place for a little walk. Located on top of a plateau, it is not as hard to access as other villages in the area - the ground being uneven, but not steep it's even possible for wheelchair users to come up here. The streets of Domme are beautiful in an unobtrusive way - nice old sandstone buildings, flowers here and there, a few squares where one can enjoy a coffee. Nothing too spectacular, but nothing boring either.

Promenade de la Barre

Located at 250m above the Dordogne, the promenade and the little square at its end are the place to be in Domme. From here, you can enjoy an unhindered view over the valley with the Dordogne meandering through it. To the west you can see as far as Beynac (another unmissable village of the Dordogne region), to the east as far as the Cingle de Montfort. But even without spectacular buildings right opposite the terrace the view is worth coming to Domme. I would have loved to see the sunset or sunrise from here, or the colours of autumn or the whole valley covered in snow... Instead, we came on a fine spring day and enjoyed the first bits of green in the landscape below us.

Address: Promenade de la Barre

Directions: the northernmost end of Domme - beyond the square is a sheer drop of 250m
