In a stunning position on the north bank of the Dordogne River, and backed by a steep hill / cliff, with little to suggest that much has changed there in the last 300 years, La Roque-Gageac is truly the perfect picture postcard village. On one particularly memorable Dordogne day, I enjoyed a perfect storm of travel thrills. La Roque Gageac is one of France's most beautiful villages. Formed by two headstreams in the Maladeta. Two of the most picturesque are La Roque-Gageac, a strong contender for 'cutest town in France,' and Beynac, a well-preserved medieval village that winds like a sepia-tone film set from the river to the castle above. It is 357 miles (575 km) long, excluding the Gironde Estuary (45 miles in length).
