"It is a magic and luminous region where the rivers Vézère and Dordogne run. Located in the south-east of the Dordogne department, it owes its name to the dark foliage of its forests. It is a destination of charm which conceals envied treasures : the cradle of Prehistory, the best of the Middle Ages, castles and gardens, and many other marvelous things to discover as well. Its capital Sarlat, town of Art and exceptional History, shelters under its old stones an architectural heritage of priceless value." Jean-François Sergent &Jacques Louge On the banks of the Dordogne, the village of La Roque-Gageac is located in the heart of this region.
