Historic area

During the One Hundred Years war, the Dordogne was on the frontier between the English and French kingdoms. Several towns like Monpazier were built by England on a very special plan, the 'bastides'. When God set the castles in France, he put the most beautiful alongside the river Loire and then tired of his job he emptied all the rest of his bag on the Périgord. That means you will never have enough time to see them all ! The two local castles Beynac (4 km) and Castelnau are truly splendid. Michael Crichton's novel 'Timeline' takes place in the village of Bezenac, but in a more dangerous time than nowadays. Les Eyzies de Tayac (15 km) is known as the capital of prehistory. 'The shelters of stone' last book of Jean M.Auel is located around Les Eyzies. Several famous painted caves are very near (Lascaux (40 km), Rouffignac, Font de Gaume). Stalactites caves are also exciting to visit. (Proumeyssac chasm 17 km)

Gastronomy and festivals

'Good food and wine, this is paradise on earth' said France's much loved king Henry IV. In Périgord eating well is a way of life, a source of pleasure and friendship. The country markets (Saint Cyprien 4km, Sarlat 15km), will provide all the quality products to make yourself the famous 'cuisine périgourdine'. You will also find all around the different types of restaurants, from the cheap but excellent 'repas à la ferme' to the three stars table. During the summer, there are many festivals, for example the theatre festival of Sarlat in July and August.
