Le Perigord Noir – A world wrapped within itself

The Perigord, in the South Dordogne region, dates back to medieval times and is a world unlike any other. With panoramic views of lush green valleys bordered by high riverside cliffs, tiny castles, winding country lanes, medieval villages, pretty harbours and lauze stone roofed cottages, the Perigord scenery is second to none.

The surrounding countryside offers crystal clean air and fertile ground in which truffles, nuts and mushrooms flourish. Local farmers breed geese and ducks, thus providing the world’s most exquisite foie gras, and vineyards produce globally acclaimed wines.

The hustle and bustle of local village life sports delightful bars, restaurants, boutiques and markets. You can immerse yourself into the culture and begin to see the world through French eyes. Right on your Perigordian doorstep, you’ll discover the surrounding area including the bastide town of Domme, medieval, Renaissance and 17th Century attitude in Sarlat and the Riverside town of Le Roque-Gageac.

Whether you prefer slow strolls and lazy boat rides, or vigorous bike rides and strenuous hikes, you’ll find everything you could possibly need in the Dordogne environment.
