Church

Thanks to the northern plains in the crook formed by the Trémolat ‘cingle’, or large meander, in the river and the hillsides overlooking the Dordogne, Calès is a commune of different landscapes and scattered hamlets. In fact, the 356 ‘Calésiens’ are spread between Traly, Auriac, La Rive Basse, La Rive Haut, Les Monzias and the village of Calès itself.
To reach Calès :
On the D29 towards Bergerac, 9km from Le Buisson de Cadouin, turn abruptly right towards the village.
On the D29 towards Le Buisson de Cadouin, 2km after Badefols, turn second left after the hydro-electric power station when you see a twelfth-century church overlooking the river.
