Evening markets: July and August ONLY. Gourmet markets featuring local artisan specialties. Bring your own couverture (plates, cutlery, table cover). Morning markets are year-round.

Rent a canoe or kayak and float the Dordogne or Vezere river. We recommend the stretch between La Roque Gageac and Beynac for the best castle views!

Explore the many footpaths throughout the area to experience breathtaking vistas or as a backdrop for your beautiful gourmet picnic.

Dordogne caves are fascinating, geological curiosities decorated with mineral formations and/or rich in pre-history such as Cro magnon dwellings.

Tour one of the 1,001 chateaux in the Perigord region. Our favorites? Beynac, Castelnaud-la-chapelle, Milandes, Puymartin, and Hautefort.

In addition to its chateaux, bastides, and cave fortresses, the Périgord has preserved a number of villages with medieval market halls, bories (stone huts), churches, abbeys, and castles.

Take advantage of the many companies offering hot air balloon tours for the best views over the entire Dordogne and Vezere River valleys.
