Remarkably situated on a steep promontory the Royal Bastide of Domme, founded in the 13th century, is one of the most renowned cities In the South-West. At the entrance to the town, the Porte des Tours bears a moving witness to the Knights Templar. Domme, often called the Acropolis of the Pirigord Hoir, overlooks the magnificent valley of the Dordogne, which meanders through the meadows where villages and farms are scattered here and there, with wooded hills, cliffs and histotic manor houses in the background.
