Domme
Do you love enigmatic places? But also places that bring together history, architecture and bucolic landscape? Then a stay in our campsite near Domme Dordogne will delight you!
Domme is one of the most beautiful villages in France, and somewhere you must visit during your stay at Les Grottes de Roffy. From the top of its rocky promontory, the medieval fortified town will plunge you into the time of the Templars, while offering you a discovery of the Perigord heritage.

When you arrive in Domme, the imposing Porte des Tours stands before you. These two towers framing the entrance to the village have a rich historical past. Want to know more? This town gateway was as a guard room, but also as a prison for 70 Templars who were held there from 1307 to 1318.
Although the famous Templar treasure has yet to be discovered, the soldier monks have left another treasure in Domme that you will no doubt love! During their incarceration, and until their death, the faith of the prisoners led them to carve their enigmatic stories on the walls of their gaol. Still visible today, these engravings make Domme a unique site not to be missed!
