Tremolat

 
The view of the River Dordogne from the road to Tremolat - the Cingle (meander) de Tremolat
There are two restaurants in Tremolat, Dordogne. Choose well.
Religion was a dangerous thing in times gone by - the fortified church of Tremolat, Dordogne.

A big plus to a visit to Tremolat is getting there. Stop for a moment to catch the view of the Dordogne from the viewpoint by the water tower at Racamadou.

Whilst most of Tremolat is pleasant on the eye, the church is quite the ugliest for many a mile. Not that Tremolatians of yore would have minded.. its fortifications and vast interior kept them safe from history's mauraders. No-one even dented it... not during the Hundred Years War, Wars of Religion nor the Revolution! Unsurprisingly, though, the locals use the restored chapel of St Hilary as their parish church.

Not to have dinner in Tremolat would be a mistake. Mind you, choosing the wrong restaurant of the two, would be a bigger mistake. Enough said, but if the restaurant you decide upon looks like the picture middle left... bon appetite. Enjoy.

If you need somewhere to stay, check out the beautifully restored manoir that is now the Vieux Logis hotel - by clicking this link - it's a gem. Yes, this is a gite website but... credit where credit's due!
