La Porte des Tours is the iconic monument and the most imposing of the three fortified gates of the royal bastide of Domme, a hilltop village in the Dordogne classified among the Most Beautiful Villages of France. Built in the early 14th century, this military structure comprises two massive towers 8.50 meters in diameter framing a pointed arch vault once protected by portcullises.

Once you’ve parked, the first mile or 2 is on road, then it’s off roading down a steep track of loose rocks, may need to push on some of it. On the outskirts of Daglan and all the way to Castelnaut super surface, quiet roads, beautiful scenery. On the way back the loose surface wasn’t as bad.
