This tower caught our attention so we pulled off the road and explored the tiny medieval village of Sainte-Croix.

  • The very old Catholic Church perched along the rocky cliff.
  • Old stonework of the church. The metal ornaments are connected to rods to hold the church together.
  • Ancient cross at a very old Catholic church.
  • We don't have the translation but it appears to be a tragedy with victims.
  • What is this we wondered? It is the harvest of white asparagus. The asparagus is kept covered with the black plastic so it is white rather than green.
  • Because of the river and solid rock cliffs, the climate in La Roque Gageac is mild enough for tropical plants such as palms and bananas.
  • A view of the Dordogne River valley from Domme. The rocky cliffs of the village of La Roque Gageac are in the background.
  • Every French town had a memorial to the many killed in WWI but with additions of those killed in WWII. This memorial shows the names of those deported , those killed in combat, and those executed on the spot. Apparently French resistance was especially prevalent in this area during WWII.
  • A memorial to someone from Domme deported to a Nazi concentration camp during WWII.
  • Stained glass within the church in Domme.
  • Stained glass within the church at Domme.
  • Pots for sale at the nearby village of Domme. We enjoyed shopping there and Jan bought a French hat.
  • Our B&B in Vers was adjacent to this lovely creek.
