| The Périgord is well-known for the
quality of its cuisine and its regional products.
All the region's best (and many) restaurants will
offer you foie gras, duck confits, sarladaises
potatoes, and magrets(duck fillets) accompanied by the very best
wines.
The connaisseurs can visit the breeding
farms and buy the foie gras and other farm produce directly from
the artisan breeders.
This region is very historical, from
the most ancient times until today. Within 50 kms, you can
visit prehistoric painted caves, the most famous being the Lascaux Caves
(15kms from the house), troglodyte villages or the fortified castles
of the XVth and XVIII th centuries, ( the list
is very long, though we have a slight preference for Castelnaud la Chapelle,
Hautefort, Milhandes and the charm of Josephine Baker, and Marqueyssac
with its illuminated suspended gardens).

What a pleasure it is to walk through
the town of Sarlat la Canéda, or Belves, Rocamadour, Domme or Collonges le
Rouge. Each of these medieval towns has its own particular style
and its differences; without forgetting, of course, la Roque
Gageac, Cénac and many others...
What can we tell you about all these
marvellous sites?
Make your own opinion..........go
cycling, driving, walking, horse-riding or canoeing through the Valley of the Dordogne River or the
Vézère River Valley.
We can organise guided tours for you
with a very passionate and well-documented Perigord friend.
We can also organise cycle rentals for you.
You will fall in love with this region,
just as we have!
