The Dordogne area, known as Périgord since Medieval times, is a land of green valleys, charming honey colored villages perching on forested hillsides, lazy meandering rivers - a feast for the eye. Early man has left the region with some of Europe's oldest art treasures, the 20,000-year-old cave paintings of Lascaux near Montignac, Font de Gaume near Les Eyzies and many others. Lively farmers' markets offer fresh produce, cheeses, wine, homemade specialties. St. Emilion and Bordeaux vineyards are a short drive away. The Bergerac area next door has tasty red, white and rosé wines. Outdoor enthusiasts have a choice of activities from canoeing and biking to walking and wild life viewing.
