AQUITAINE is the region covering South-West France with its sandy Atlantic surfing beaches and glamorous resorts such as Biarritz, to the spectacular mountains of the Pyrenees and inland to the incomparable beauty of Dordogne - called the Cradle of Mankind because of the many caves lived in by prehistoric man which you may still visit today and wonder at the paintings they made to illustrate their lives.
DORDOGNE is divided into 4 regions known by colours and its pre-Napoleonic name of Périgord - White for the area's white stones, Black for the famous truffles of global gastronomic fame, Green because there are so many forests and the Purple Perigord where we live because of the grapes in the much-acclaimed Bergerac vineyards.
BERGERAC, a vibrant medieval town with a thriving low cost airlines airport, straddles the Dordogne river, used for hundreds of years to transport the local wines down to the great wine city of Bordeaux - how about a river trip on one of those boats?
