Domme

Perigord Noir

Panoramic Views

As you’re walking around this beautiful village, consider the fact that almost nothing has changed since the middle ages. The same hotels, B&Bs & restaurants. The only difference is that there are now more tourists than pilgrims. It’s one of those towns where you get an instant ‘feel’ for its past.

The 100 Years War

Domme was an excellent village to control during the war. The lords taxed the farmers very heavily because they could grow a lot in the fertile soil. They could also tax the imports and exports sailing up and down the river. All of this went a long way to funding efforts during the war. The ‘Bastide’ stone wall protecting the town is also a massive bonus!
