Explore the region
The Périgord has a lot to offer, with some of the most beautiful tourist sites in France, as well as typical villages nearby, less touristy but full of charm and wonders to discover.
Our neighbours, the Lot and Corrèze, also have a wealth of treasures to offer, giving you the chance to discover the surrounding countryside on your way there.
Nature is waiting to welcome you with open arms, thanks to its many hiking trails. If you’re into outdoor activities but not a keen walker, the Souillac golf course and water sports on the Dordogne, Vézère or Lac du Causse await you.
Our region is renowned for its gastronomy, and we can recommend some excellent local producers and restaurants to suit all budgets.
