From the northern promenade at the height of the cliffs of Domme, the promenade des falaises, or La Barre viewing terrace, one overlooks the Dordogne valley as far west as Beynac and as far east as the Cingle de Montfort. The promenade is a highly frequented and popular vantage point because of its unique panorama, which changes according to the time of day and the season.
Domme [dɔm] (from Occitan Doma) is a French commune with 907 inhabitants (as of 1 January 2020) in the Dordogne department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.

Domme is also known as the Acropolis of the Périgord.
