The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Dordogne region
Acquitaine/Dordogne is one of the most beautiful and popular regions to visit in the south west of France. The north eastern corner of inland Aquitaine (known as the Perigord Vert) offers much for visitors, of all ages, including beautiful medieval towns and villages, outdoor markets, fabulous shopping, unspoilt countryside, chateaux, rivers and caves. There's something for everyone to experience and thoroughly enjoy.
Outdoor markets? Several are available in nearby towns. Just a short distance away is the town of Riberac which is renowned for its Friday market – the best in the area and one not to miss. Surround yourself with the wonderful aromas of fabulous cheese, flowers, fruit and vegetables and explore the extraordinary choice of local goods.
A short drive from La Germanie will bring you to the superb medieval town of Brantome and the wide array of shops, cafes and the remarkable and ancient abbey. With its soaring campanile, this is one of the most elegant medieval and Renaissance buildings in the Dordogne, complete with caves which were used by the monks as kitchens and cellars. The town sits on a bend of the River Dronne and a stroll along the riverside is an unforgettable experience. Boat trips available.
Visit the pretty and very popular village of Bourdeilles. Sample the cafes and their delicous menus and wine or organise a canoe trip down the River Dronne. Offering two chateaux of different periods built on a fortified hill – a medieval fortress and a Renaissance palace with a remarkable collection of furniture. Picnic on the River Dronne's banks.
What about caves? Not very far away is the town of Grottes de Villars and a short distance north of the town are the caves with some impressive stalactites and paintings more than 17,000 years old. The underground river has hollowed out huge chambers connected to each other by galleries. A treat for kids and adults alike.
Aubeterre sur Dronne has charming narrow streets that wind through white stone houses and ancient buildings. Built in the shape of an amphitheatre this former stronghold is classified as one of France’s prettiest villages.
Nontron has attractive lakes providing ideal picnic sites. The town stands high up on a rock fortified by massive ramparts with a picturesque 18th century chateau. This is a perfect place for children to enjoy the lively museum of dolls, models, games and toys.
