Florimont-Gaumier: Wine, Panoramas and Heritage

If you’re looking for a hotel in Florimont-Gaumier, you can plan your stay around wine, panoramas or history. These themes are quite distinct: wine tastings and local products sit alongside a 23-metre-high viewpoint and the layered history of the Église de Florimont. This makes it easy to decide while planning your trip which focus you’d like your stay to have.

Wine and tastings

The Cave du Vin de Domme offers a free tasting of products from 17 founding winegrowers. The wines include white wine, two rosés and various reds, including a cuvée aged in oak barrels. The wine cellar is open to visitors, except during major work such as cleaning or the grape harvest.

Domaine de Lasfargues offers tours of its wine cellar and farm buildings; some of these buildings date back to the 17th century. The range includes white, red and rosé wines, Crémant, aperitifs, walnut wine and ratafia. Walnuts are also available, in their shells, shelled or as walnut oil. All products are organically produced. Tours and tastings at the estate are free.

Panoramas and trails through wine country

The Tour de Moncalou is 23 metres high and offers 360° panoramic views over the vineyards of the Chai du Vin de Domme and the surrounding villages. At the top, you’ll find an orientation table and a telescope. The view stretches from the Dordogne valley in the foreground to the distant foothills of the Massif Central.

The Tour panoramique de Moncalou is freely accessible every day throughout the year. Check the current access conditions before visiting.

The Boucle du Chai de Moncalou starts in Florimont-Gaumier. On this route, the path to the Tour de Moncalou runs between walls. The Sentier des Vignes footpath offers insights into the local wine-growing landscape. You can choose between different experiences: the path to the viewpoint or a themed introduction to winegrowing.

Church history and cultural places

The Église de Florimont has major building phases dating from the 12th, 17th and 19th centuries. Damage during the Hundred Years’ War led to the nave and bell tower being raised to serve as a defensive refuge. On 24 June 1977, a decree listed the church as a historic monument. The building phases span three centuries; the 1977 listing is a later, separate step in the church’s history.

La Grange aux livres in Florimont-Gaumier offers a different cultural experience, with a bookbinding workshop and a tea room. These crafts and cultural activities complement the Église’s architectural history and outings focused on wine and panoramas.
