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 with its wonderful cliff, Limeuil
between Vezere and Dordogne rivers, Saint
Leon sur Vezere, Domme
and its panorama over the Dordogne, Belves,
Monpazier and
Monflanquin
with their typical "Bastides". South, you will
join Auvillar
, Lauzerte and
Pujols le Haut.
In
Beynac et
Cazenac, 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.
