We are surrounded by so many chateaux, all worth a visit, Beynac, Castlenaud, Montfort, Fenelon, and Milandes to mention just a few.

Domme

A ten minute walk from La Vigne takes you to the centre of Domme, a bastide town dating back to 1281. Despite its lofty position above the Dordogne River it was captured many times by the English and the counts of Perigord. If you approach Domme from the east you enter through the best preserved of its three gates, the 13^th century Porte des Tours, the towers on either side were converted into prisons in 1307 following the arrest of the Knights Templar. Today you can stroll through the medieval archways, and streets full of restaurants, bars/cafes, craft and gift shops. On Thursdays there is a weekly market in the square beside the tourist office, and a little higher up there is the most spectacular view of the Dordogne River stretching from Montfort to Beynac.

Sarlat

The capital of the Perigord Noir, a beautifully restored medieval town with cobbled lanes and hidden courtyards. The Saturday market is well worth a visit. There are numerous restaurants, and local delicacies include foie gras, confit de canard, cassoulet, cepes, and walnuts, with excellent wines from Cahors, Bergerac, and Bordeaux.

Rocamadour

About an hour's drive from La Vigne, but a must, the second most visited place in France. A vertical cliff dwellers' town, the beautiful golden stone houses and chapels piled on top of one another over a deep ravine. There are wonderful views from the top of the cliff which can be reached by climbing the steps or by lift.
