There are caves to visit, not only prehistoric with paintings (as at Lascaux and Les Eyzies) but also spectacular underground limestone caves ( at Domme and Le Grand Roc) and chasms ( at Proumeyssac).The flambuoyant chateaux at Beynac, Castlenaud, Hautfort rival those of the Loire valley.
The region boasts many gastronomique delights including foie gras ( rich goose liver), truffles ( exquisite black mushrooms), confit ( preserved duck) and Cabecou ( goats cheese). All can be savoured with locally produced wine from the Bergerac vineyards.
Sarlat has been described as "the jewel in the crown" with its medieval centre, architectural heritage, famous Saturday market and unique atmosphere provided by its street entertainment in Summer.
