A magnificent 13th-century bastide town surrounded by ramparts and perched on a cliff, Domme is nicknamed the ‘Acropolis of the Périgord Noir’. Highly coveted during the Hundred Years' War, Domme has retained its exceptional character, giving it a romantic atmosphere.

Stroll through its narrow streets lined with limestone houses to discover a hidden garden here, a medieval stone market hall there, or a church. The superb 13th-century town hall still houses the mayor's office, while the Governor's House (16th century), with its corbelled turret, will charm lovers of refined architecture.
