The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Dordogne region
The Dordogne, or the Périgord as it is known by the French, is one of the most beautiful regions in France. The Périgord Noir, which derives its name from the black truffles found here and its walnuts, is to be found in the triangle of Sarlat, Domme and Les Eyzies, cut through by the Dordogne and Vézère rivers. The Périgord Noir is a stunning mixture of prehistoric caves hidden in tree-covered valleys and medieval castles dating from the 100 years war. You cannot fail to be impressed by the number and variety of castles that there are to visit, as well as the multitude of cavemen dwellings and underground sites.
The Périgord Noir is also famous for its cuisine. You can expect some form of duck on every menu, either the famous duck or goose liver (foie gras) or “confit de canard” or the lighter “magret de canard”. You should try the truffles, whose farming grounds are kept a very close secret by the truffle hunters, and also the cèpes, a very tasty form of mushroom. And to accompany it all, wine from the nearby Bordeaux or Bergerac regions, preceded by a walnut wine to get the juices flowing. Don’t expect to go home lighter than when you set off…
Saint Cyprien area
The small market town of St Cyprien is an ideal base for your vacation in the Périgord Noir. Traditional shops line the main street, while centuries-old houses cling to the hill, which leads up to the impressive church and abbey. The Sunday market is very popular and you can stock up on necessities at the town’s supermarket, Champion. St Cyprien lies close to the Dordogne river, so canoeing bases are nearby, as are the historic sites of Beynac, Les Eyzies, Castelnaud, La Roque-Gageac and Sarlat. You can also enjoy golf, horse-riding and “acro-branche’ – a sort of Tarzan activity, swinging through the trees – within a few kilometres.
