Les Roches-l'Évêque (French pronunciation: [le ʁɔʃ levɛk]) is a commune in the Loir-et-Cher department in central France.

Located in the north-west of the department, the town is part of the small agricultural region "the Valley and Coteaux du Loir", bordered to the north by a steep hill and to the south by gently sloping hillsides.

The commune of Les Roches-l'Évêque is located in the north-west of the department of Loir-et-Cher, in the small agricultural region of the Vallée et Coteaux du Loir.

The landscapes of the loops of the Loir present a certain complexity: while the upstream part of the valley presents a calm and a serenity, near Les Roches, the Loir twists in tight meanders, restricted by a terrain marked by steep hillsides.

Tuffeau, which has replaced the soft clay of the Perche, marks the landscape, with its white, sandy or ochre colors appearing on the cliffs weathered by the river.
