Henry Miller wrote, “Just to glimpse the black, mysterious river at Domme from the beautiful bluff is something to be grateful for all one's life.”
If you do anything in the Dordogne, take a tour of the bastides. These monuments of medieval strife are something to behold and an important part of the local Dordogne patrimony. And take Henry Miller’s advice... visit Domme.
After a steep drive up and into the bastide through the ancient fortifications, you’ll have a renewed appreciation for the builders who lugged these heavy stones straight up the hillside. Dinner with our friend Chef Pascal and his wife Monique at their restaurant on the cliff's edge will let you see the Dordogne the way Henry Miller did. Sorry... to read more about the lovable Pascal and his mysterious culinary ways, you'll have to read the book which includes one of his personal recipes!
