Les meilleures choses à faire à Domme
Tu ne manqueras pas d’activités et de sites à visiter lorsque tu exploreras Domme. Mais si tu veux planifier un peu mieux tes vacances, voici une liste des meilleures choses à faire lors de tes pérégrinations dans la ville.
Visite les beaux châteaux de Domme
Domme est un village dont les racines médiévales sont visibles. En effet, la région compte de nombreux châteaux magnifiques, comme le Château de Castelnaud-la-Chapelle ou le Château de Beynac. Certains de ces châteaux nécessitent un peu de marche pour atteindre les tours principales, tandis que d’autres ne sont qu’à une courte distance à pied. Si jamais tu as besoin d’aide pour trouver un château à visiter à Domme, n’hésite pas à te renseigner auprès de leur office de tourisme.
Les horaires d’ouverture des châteaux de Domme varient d’un mois à l’autre – de 9 heures à 20 heures. Les prix varient également en fonction de la saison, à partir de 11,90 € pour un adulte, 6 € pour les enfants de 10 à 17 ans, et gratuit pour tous les moins de 10 ans.
Check Out the Templar’s Dungeons
A cool part of Domme’s history involves King Philip IV imprisoning the Templars in the village. Thousands of templars in the 1300s were held captive in this city, and there are still remnants of this that you can visit.
This is why you can walk around the village and find various pieces of graffiti left by these templar prisoners, which is a unique piece of history to see. However, like many Templar sites in France, visiting the Templar Dungeons takes a bit of exploring.
Domme Caves (Grotte de Domme)
If you’re more of a nature explorer, then you can also visit the Domme Caves. Beneath the Domme village is a beautiful fitted-out cave with stalactites, colonnades, and stalagmites. This is a large cave with steps, sloping parts, and low passages, so it may not be ideal for everyone. That said, visiting the cave takes just about 45 minutes, so it will be really easy to squeeze it into your schedule.
It’s open from February till December and entry prices start at €9.00 for an adult, €7.50 for a student, €6.50 for kids 5-14 years old, and free for all under 5s.
Museé l’Oustal du Périgord
The Museé l’Oustal du Périgord in Domme offers a unique view of life in medieval times. The beautiful old house located near the market holds various tools and objects that Domme citizens used hundreds of years ago.
It’s a cool little peak into the lives of medieval Europeans, and it’s only a 1-hour visit. That said, we hope your French is up to scratch because the museum lacks English instructions. The opening times vary on the month, but it’s typically from 10:30 AM till 7 PM.

Price: €5.00 per adult, €4.00 for a student, and €3.00 for children 5 to 14 years old.
