Domme Attractions

Domme (pop. 1,000), beautifully situated on a hill which falls steeply down to the Dordogne, has preserved much of its old circuit of walls (13th C.); a walk round them affords magnificent views. In the Place de la Halle are a 17th C. market hall and the 16th C. Maison des Gouverneurs. Under the town is an interesting stalactitic cave.
Domme Caves
The cave has one of the finest limestone formations in the region. Grotte de Domme includes stalactites, water mirrors and lighting effects. The skeletal remains of a prehistoric rhinoceros and several bison were discovered when work was done on the cave and are still on display.
Grotte de Domme is an interesting stalactitic cave which provided shelter for the population during the wars of religion.
