A Short Walk up Mont Saint Cyr, Cahors

The cathedral in Cahors dates to the 11th century though it has undergone modifications over the centuries.

Spread over three levels this museums tells many stories of resistance efforts, concentration camps and the part the Cahors played in the liberation of France.

Built in the 14th century, the Valentré bridge is synonymous with the town of Cahors.

Developed by an engineer called Frédéric Suisse the system uses the amazing power of the river to pump water from the fountain of the Chartreux, thus supplying Cahors with drinking water.

This fossil museum in Luzech houses tracks and footprints of dinosaurs from the Jurassic period of over 140 million years ago which were discovered in Crayssac. Thought to be Diplodocus-like quadrupeds, the tracks are over 10 metres long.

This huge cave , more than two kilometres long, has seven large halls open to the public. Its lower prehistoric chambers were discovered by teenagers in the 1920s. They contain prehistoric paintings and sketches, human footprints and limestone rock formations which include cave pearls. The huge Chapelle des Mammoths is the first stop, which contains impressive art that uses the contours of the rock perfectly. There are literally hundreds of drawings. The museum is good, displaying a diverse collection of artefacts.

This elegant and sophisticated two Michelin star restaurant offers creative dishes designed by chef Cédric Béchade, who plays with colours and textures in his cuisine.

The dining rooms allow for views of the surrounding vineyards and rolling hills. Drinks can also be enjoyed in the small library or among the chestnut trees.

With a terrace set alongside the Vezerie river and within a hotel clad in Virginia Creeper and decorated with heart, warmth and style, the restaurant is hugely inviting.

Set in an inviting tranquil hotel just a short distance from the centre of medieval Brantome. A meal typical of the region including duck, foie gras and of course truffles can be enjoyed in the spacious restaurant or under the mulberry trees on the terrace in the summer.

The restaurant boasts an innovative menu with a focus on fine local fare and seemless service. The very word Les Merles stands for honesty and delightfulness, which is reflected throughout the dining experience.

Set inside a 106-hectare estate Castle, the restaurant setting alone is worth a visit, but with beautiful stone walls, painted wooden beams and decorated in traditional fashion, it is very much worth taking a step inside.

Come fly over the Dordogne, Perigord, castles, manors, fortresses, the valleys of the Dordogne and Vézère, discover it in all its charm.

With family, in a group, with friends and at any age, you can explore at your own pace two of the most beautiful rivers of Périgord.

This wildlife park is dedicated to the Barbary Macaque monkey who roams free in the 20 hectares of woodland.

For over 25 years this park has allowed visitors to come into close (and safe!) encounter with crocodiles, cobras and more than 200 other reptiles and venomous species.

Discover the art and history of the city of Perigueux, exploring the ancient city, old town and admiring the beauty.

Shortly before sunset, or at dawn, following the preparation of the flight you can take off with Lionel, a professional balloonist and paraglider who has been working as a guide in Dordogne for more than 15 years.
