Dordogne, France

Along the banks of the river Dordogne are a thousand and one castles steeped in legend. Perigord’s rich and varied heritage has been faithfully preserved and is here for you to discover. In spring, when the air is filled with the scent of fruit trees in full blossom, take a walk in the countryside and marvel at the innumerable species of orchids and wild flowers that grow here. Discover a bit of history in the refreshing cool of the region’s many caves or castles, or bathe in one of Perigord’s lakes or ponds in the warm summer, or go canoeing down shaded streams. Dordogne is a tourist’s paradise with the greatest number of historic sites in France outside Paris. And as Christmas gets closer, the local country folk are seen on the markets selling the fresh truffles, cepes and fois gras so prized by epicures from all over the world.
