A walk through a village of golden houses between rock and river, with the troglodyte fort above · 1 h 30 · free

The houses are stacked in a narrow strip between the cliff and the Dordogne, with the troglodyte fort hanging in the rock. You can walk round it in an hour along the street that climbs beside the cliff. The riverside road runs right in front, and parking in August in mid-morning is difficult: arrive before ten or come by canoe.
