1 escapes Places of a Lifetime NATURAL FORTRESS 자연의성채, 도르도뉴계곡 숲속산골짜기사이로간간이중세마을과성채가보이는곳. 프랑스남서부도르도뉴계곡은 483킬로미터에이르는도르도뉴강을따라마시프상트랄에서미디피레네지역까지훑는다. 그장대한흐름을따라동굴벽화와선사시대유적지수십개가자리하며, 문화유산으로지정된중세마을과샤토드벨카스텔같은성이강을굽어보며우뚝솟아있다. 글태머라티센사진파스칼뫼니에 Pascal Meunier / Lightmediation Plunging ravines carpeted with thick bottle-green forest are punctuated by medieval villages and rock perched fortresses this is the Dordogne Valley in France s southwest. The area envelopes the banks of the 483km Dordogne River, along part of its course through the Midi-Pyrénées region from its source in the Massif Central. Woven into the landscape are dozens of art-filled grottoes and prehistoric sites, heritage-listed medieval hamlets and bastions, such as the Château de Belcastel, which stands high above the river. By Tamara Thiessen Photographs by Pascal Meunier

2 도도한흐름도르도뉴강은수이야크와수세라크마을사이에서깊은 계곡을이루며로트지방의숲을지난다. 바위가많은습곡에자리한 62개의마을과참나무, 밤나무숲을아우르는이구간은울퉁불퉁한석회암고원과장엄한노두 ( 露頭 ) 가특히인상적이다. 그물길을굽어보며높이자리한성채중에는라카브에있는샤토드라트렌성처럼고급호텔로탈바꿈한곳도있다. Flow of Times In a gorge lined with mountainous cliffs, the Dordogne River flows between the towns of Souillac and Sousceyrac, through the densely forested department of Lot. After winding its way past 62 towns and oak and chestnut-filled woodlands, the river basin is framed by craggy limestone plateaus and spectacular outcrops. Dozens of fortifications are perched high above the waterway, and some, such as the Château de la Treyne at Lacave, have been transformed into luxury hotels.

3 원시지질수세기동안사람들은로트지방의이거대한지하왕국을 악마의거처라고여겨멀리했다. 구프르드파디라크는입구폭은 99미터에깊이는지하 103미터에이르는동굴이다. 승강기를타고바닥까지내려가카누를타고옥색물웅덩이와황토색굴이이어지는 2.5킬로미터의지하수로를탐험할수있다. 그길을따라가다높이 60미터의종유석그랑드팡들로크와 94미터높이의아치형천장이인상적인그랑돔룸을볼수있다. Primordial Geology Fear of the devil kept people away from this massive subterranean kingdom for centuries. From its gaping 99m wide opening, the Gouffre de Padirac plunges 103m into the depths of the earth. A sequence of three lifts take visitors to the bottom of the abyss, where they pilot canoes on an underground river tour through 2.5km of turquoise pools and ochre galleries. Startling formations line the way, including the 60m-high stalactite Grande Pendeloque, and the Grand Dome Room, with its 94m-high cathedral ceiling.

4 크로캉부슈마을 150 미터암석위에자리한로카마두르는 신앙의성채 라 불린다. 12세기에한성인의무덤과소위기적의조각상이발견된뒤로이곳은산티아고데콤포스텔라까지가는순례자들이반드시거쳐가는행선지가되었다. 비아상크타의 223개계단을오르면플라스생타마두르광장에닿는다. 이곳에는유네스코세계문화유산인생소뵈르성당과아마두르성인의묘실, 9세기에만든목각상인검은성모상이있는노트르담성당이있다. Croquembouche Village Perched around a 150m-tall rocky spur, the fortified village of Rocamadour has been dubbed the citadel of faith. The discovery of a saint s tomb and a miraculous healing statue in the 12 th century made it an important stop on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. The 223 steps of the Via Sancta lead to the ecclesiastical cluster on Place St-Amadour. This is home to the crypt of Saint Amadour in the Basilica Saint-Sauveur, and the Chapelle de Notre-Dame, with its 9 th -century wooden effigy, dubbed the Black Madonna.

5 수도원마을도르도뉴계곡에자리한카레나크마을은강을건너는다리 주변으로짙은갈색지붕을인노란색집들이가득한곳이다. 이중세마을은원래부르고뉴지방의클뤼니수도원에속한한수도원공동체를중심으로형성됐다. 11세기에축조된생피에르성당은아름다운아치형회랑과로마식팀파눔에새겨진고딕양식조각으로유명하다. Monastic Beauty Folded in the verdant creases of the Dordogne Valley, the honey colored cottages with chocolate brown roofs of Carennac cling around a bridge on the Dordogne River. The medieval hamlet sprung up near a monastic community dependent on Burgundy s Cluny Abbey. The 11 th -century priory, Église Saint-Pierre, is renowned for its vaulted cloister, and the Gothic carvings carved into its Roman style tympanum, the semicircular area above its arched entrance.

6 황금도시사를라라카네다는자갈이깔린골목과광장이어우러진곳이다. 플라스드라리베르테광장을바라보는, 2002년에세워진 구경꾼 이라는뜻의청동상르바도는이고대마을에서찾아볼수있는현대적인매력중하나다. 거위떼를표현한또다른청동상은한때거위시장이던플라스뒤마르셰오와에있다. 이도시는지금은성당인 9세기베네딕틴수도원을중심으로발전했다. 생트마리성당의종탑으로올라가는유리승강기는건축가장누벨이디자인한것으로, 그위에올라가면성당의슬레이트지붕을 360도로내려다볼수있다. Golden Stone Sarlat-la-Canéda is a hive of flaxen-stoned alleyways and squares. Surveying the Place de la Liberté, the 2002 bronze statue Le Badaud the onlooker is one of many modern cultural charms in the ancient town. Another statue of bronze geese graces the turreted Place du Marché aux Oies. The walled city of wooden slat houses developed around what was once a 9 th -century Benedictine Abbey, which has grown into a cathedral. A glass lift in the bell tower of the Église Sainte-Marie, designed by architect Jean Nouvel, takes visitors to a vantage point with 360-degree views of its slate rooftops.

Beynac-et-Cazenac Fly from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport to Bordeaux with Air France, or take the TGV train from Paris-Montparnasse station to Bordeaux. A 187km drive east of Bordeaux, Beynac-et-Cazenac is another of France s most beautiful villages a huddle of cobblestoned streets and wall-to-wall golden cottages with beaver-tailed shingle roofs. The village s talisman is the 12 th -century Château de Beynac overhanging the banks of the Dordogne River from its lofty 200m perch. A guided tour takes in its dungeons, kitchens, living quarters and frescowalled salons. Get an initiation in the historic Vézère Valley of Périgord Noir through the displays of the first sedentary dwellings of Neolithic and Iron- Age societies at the nearby Archaeological Park.

There is also an incredible display of stalactites and stalagmites in the Grand- Roc cave. Many artifacts, including tools, art and arrows, are housed in the National Museum of Prehistory, beneath the dramatic overhanging cliffs that shroud the village. Lascaux Discovered in 1940 by four teenage boys, the remarkably decorated Lascaux cave has been called the Sistine Chapel of Prehistory. About 25km northeast of Les Eyzies near Montignac, the 600 animal paintings and 1,500 engravings are nicknamed the Lascaux bestiary. The ochre and black-toned frescoes include horned creatures, red deer, rhinoceros, bulls, bison, bird-headed men, herds of horses and slain animals. 자세한문의는으로문의바랍니다.
