The department of the Dordogne which forms, for the most part, the main region of Périgord is without doubt the richest region from the point of view of tourism in France.

Prehistoric Périgord : the cradle of Humanity, the land where Homo "erectus" became "sapiens" as witnessed by the prestigious sites ( Lascaux, Font de Gaume, Villars …. )

Historical Périgord : with its thousand and one châteaux and its bastides (walled towns ), countless witnesses of the Hundred Years War and of the Renaissance.

Tourist Périgord : with its internationally well-known cities : Périgueux, Sarlat, Bergerac, Brantôme etc.


Périgord
also displays on its artist palette of colours :

To the North the Périgord VERT, a veritable jewel case of greenery crossed by a multitude of streams.
In the centre Périgord BLANC, a chalk plateau with wide valleys of grassy fields.
To the South-East, Périgord NOIR, the valleys of the Vézère and the Dordogne.
In the South-West, Périgord POURPRE, land of the Bergerac wine, homeland of Cyrano.
We can add the sun colour for the Périgord of NATURIST
