General Information about Dordogne - Périgord...
The Dordogne's history is rich and has been inhabited by man since prehistoric times. It is world famous for its cave paintings at Lascaux. It has a variety of underground caves or "grottes". During the 13th and 14th centuries the French and the English fought over Perigord (the region from which the Dordogne region was later created). The hundred years war dominated the history of the Dordogne itself.
The river Dordogne itself flows south west for over three hundred miles until it meets the Atlantic near Bordeaux. Much of the region is still unspoilt, with vineyards, tobacco, fruit and geese seen locally, the products of which are sold in the local markets
The region is a diamond shape and at its' centre is the modern capital of Perigueux.
The region is described as having a gastronomic cuisine and there is no shortage
of restaurants and bistros to support this. Specialities of the area are truffles and pate de fois gras in particular,
but also walnuts and not forgetting the vin du pays and the well stocked cellars of every restaurant, bar and supermarket
shelf!
