In the Bergerac region, in the southwest quarter of the Dordogne department, Gageac-et-Rouillac is a rural commune watered by theGardonnette River. It is part of the greater Bergerac area.
Away from the main roads, the village of Gageac-et-Rouillac is located, as the crow flies, eleven kilometers east-southeast ofSainte-Foy-la-Grande, twelve kilometers southwest ofBergerac city center, and fifteen kilometers north-northwest of the fortified town of Eymet.
The commune is served by departmental roads D14 and D15.
BetweenSaussignac andCunèges, thenPomport, a section shared by the GR 6 and GR 654 West long-distance hiking trails crosses the commune for three and a half kilometers.
Located on the northern plate of theAquitaine Basin and bordered to its northeast by a fringe of theMassif Central, theDordogne department exhibits great geological diversity. The terrain is arranged in regularstrata at depth, evidence ofsedimentation on this ancient marine platform. The department can thus be geologically divided into four distinct terraces, differentiated according to theirgeological age. Gageac-et-Rouillac is situated in the fourth terrace from the northeast, a plateau formed ofsiliceous-sandy deposits and lacustrinelimestones from theTertiary period.
The outcropping layers within the municipal territory consist ofQuaternary surface formations andsedimentary rocks dating from theCenozoic era. The oldest formation, designated e6b, is composed of lowermolasse (predominantly clayeyfacies) (Upper ContinentalBartonian). The most recent formation, designated CFp, is one of the undifferentiatedcolluvial surface formations found on slopes, in valleys, and on plateaus, derived fromalluvium,molasse, and weathered rock. A detailed description of these layers is provided in sheets "no. 805 - Sainte-Foy-la-Grande" and "no. 806 - Bergerac" of the 1:50,000 geological map of metropolitan France and their associated explanatory notes.
