ComeToFrance proposes to dive into the gastronomy of Perigord with fine wines,foie gras, walnuts, truffles, strawberries and cheeses. But not in addition to this gastronomic patrimony, Perigord is a region with an unbeatable historic patrimony. Located on the left bank of the river Vezere, Lascaux is set a little apart from the traditional prehistoric sites further downstream, between Moustier and Bugue. The excellent state of conservation of this prehistoric heritage is due to the numerous rock-shelters and natural caves in limestone, which dot the landscape. You will of course in Sarlat to discover a UNESCO Site and you will then join many of the Most Beautiful Villages of France, which gather in Perigord and Dordogne: La Roque Gageac_hotels with its wonderful cliff, Limeuil_hotels between Vezere and Dordogne rivers, Saint Leon sur Vezere_hotels, Domme and its panorama over the Dordogne, Belves_hotels, Monpazier_hotels and Monflanquin with their typical "Bastides". South, you will join Auvillar_hotels , Lauzerte and Pujols le Haut_hotels. In Beynac et Cazenac_hotels, overlooking the Dordogne Valley from a 300-foot sheer cliff, the Beynac-et-Cazenac fortress is a fine medieval prize, once the proud possession of Richard the Lion Hearted. Work inward through the elaborate series of curtain walls, parapet walks, watchtowers and passageways to a wonderful interior with a superb 17th-century staircase and delicate 15th-century frescoes.
