Whether you are gourmet, sporty, history buff or beautiful stones, there is something to be happy about in the Périgord. Discover the picturesque bastides of Monpazier or Eymet, drink a small glass of Bergerac under the old trellis of Issigeac, go down the Vézère by canoe- kayac, everything is conducive to an authentic and invigorating stop.
In the midst of a generous countryside, the villages among the most beautiful in France reveal a region rich in heritage and gastronomy. Come and make your paper in Couze and Saint Front, discover how raw wool turns into yarn in Belvès, meet talented craftsmen! Here, craftsmanship is alive and well and is shared with passion!
For children, back to nature with fun spots open all summer! Climbing trees, practicing water activities, solving puzzles at the castle, getting lost in corn mazes, everything is possible to make the most of family moments. As for nature lovers, they are spoilt for choice for their walks, on foot, or on horseback. Not to mention beautiful gardens, such as the very neat Jardin de Marqueyssac or the dreamlike “Jardins d’eau” near Sarlat.
But it would be too long to boast all the treasures of the Périgord, as there are so many. It’s up to everyone to find the ideal route, the right balance between rest and discovery, healthy eating, and fat (let say a little bit …), past and present … And above all, come and tell us your preferences !
