Dordogne is a region of France offering dramatically contrasting landscapes and numerous outdoor activities. It is also a very popular holiday destination for families looking for a relaxing and tranquil setting.
The northeast area of Dordogne is often referred to as ‘le Perigord Vert’ and offers lush, green rolling hills, pine-scented forests and large open prairies. This peaceful and rather undiscovered area of France is the place to go if you are looking for pure relaxation!
The southeast is a more popular tourist destination, yet still offers something a little bit different. In this area, you will find numerous prehistoric sites making it popular with historians as well as holidaymakers. The area also has many castles and caves to explore. Some of Europe’s most important prehistoric caves are sited right here in the area of Lascaux.
Foodies will be in heaven in the Gastronomic Centre at Perigueux. Here you will find some of the best local produce in France including priceless truffles. Pies or ‘pates de Perigueux’ or cured meats are specialities of the area and are best enjoyed with a view of the countryside and a glass of good local wine!
