Bort-les-Orgues is situated on the
Dordogne. The southern boundary of the commune is formed by the rivers
Rhue and
Dordogne. About 3 km east of the confluence of these rivers, the Rhue has carved a small gorge at a site known as the "Saut de la Saule". Bort-les-Orgues takes its name from
les Orgues, a 2-km-long cliff of volcanic columnar basalt 80m to 100m high, at the foot of which it lies. ==Population==
