What to see and do in the Dordogne
This region is dominated by three great rivers, the Dordogne, the Lot and the Tarn, they make their way from the plateau of the Massif Central out to the Atlantic.
Over the centuries, the Dordogne River, has carved out some remarkable caves and there are beautiful valleys which are rich and fertile whose gentle slopes are carpeted in lush greenery, ideal for the regions famous wines. The area is one of outstanding natural beauty.
The most well know cave was discovered in 1942, it is Lascaux Cave and contains evidence of early man with its magnificent prehistoric paintings of animals and humans. The cave was closed to the public in 1963 to protect the cave paintings which can be damaged by the moisture people exhale when breathing. Hence Lascaux II was created, this is a perfect replica and is situated in Montignac.
The capital of the Dordogne is Perigueux and is a great base for exploring the surrounding area. On Wednesdays and Saturdays they hold their markets in the medieval part of the town. First-class produce is on offer including assorted cured meats, truffles, foie-gras and pies or 'pates de Perigueux'.
Together with a temperate climate, picturesque villages, pastoral farmland, a rich and fascinating history, numerous churches, cathedrals, castles, chateaux, bastide towns and fortresses, plus renowned gastronomy, you have a recipe for the perfect holiday destination!
