Introduction

West of the Central Massif lies Perigord, a region of lush valleys dotted with harmonious towns and quaint villages. The Dordogne and Vezere Rivers wind through this tranquil landscape irrigating beautiful vineyards and old forests that have produced fine wines and black truffles for centuries. For those interested in archaeology, it is one of Europe’s most fascinating regions, having been continuously inhabited by man for tens of thousands of years. The lovely riverside villages such as La Roque Gageac, St Leon sur Vezere and Domme are a highlight of any visit to the region, with wonderful cobblestoned laneways, imposing castles and dramatic views. Perigord is also known for its fine food and wine; local dishes such as succulent duck, wild boar and Fois Gras are specialities of the region. Our hotels on this week of exploration have been specially chosen for their character and friendly ambiance and make a perfect relaxing base for us to reconvene in the evenings and reminisce about our days discoveries.
