Dordogne Attractions  Don't be misled by the fact that there are only three major attractions listed here.  The  Dordogne is full of places to visit, so many that they have separate groupings of their own - see our sections on caves, chateaux, museums and towns.  The attractions listed here don't fit into another grouping but are worthy of a mention.  Pictured opposite are the fascinating scarecrow displays in Meyrals on the D35 between Le Bugue and Sarlat.

Domme Vineyard

Location: Not really in Domme at all, but in the middle of nowhere about 14 kms to the south. From Daglan head south and follow signs either to Moncalou (the village) or Vin de Domme (the winery).
General Info:  Open all year, weekdays only outside the summer months of July/August. Closed over lunch. Moncalou, 24250, Florimont Gaumur. 0(5) 53 28 14 47.
Description:  The Vin de Domme vineyard is unique in the area. Years back this part of the Perigord Noir, nestled among the limestone hills of the Céou Valley thrived with vineyards, with the wine being transported down the Dordogne river on traditional gabares.  Now there is only one vineyard, possibly the smallest in France.
Our Recommendations: You can walk around the vineyard and buy rosé and red wine from the winery. The wine is a vin de pays.
