The Region
The Dordogne and the Vézère rivers offer either tranquil, or exciting
canoeing. There is a riding stable very close to us, near the Chateau de
Bridoire and there are masses of roads and tracks to walk or bicycle on. Our
main town is Bergerac, with its lovely medieval port, still with its quays,
beautiful bridge and timbered warehouses in the old quartier. It is also the
bustling shopping centre for a large region and has excellent shops,
restaurants, supermarkets, a large country market on Wednesday and Saturday
and many attractions for visitors. The bastide towns of Eymet, Villeréal,
Monpazier and Monflanquin are well worth visiting. The beautiful region of
the Dordogne is a land of sheltered valleys and woods, rivers, farms
producing Foie gras, vineyards, medieval towns and villages and chateau. It
is the country of truffles and walnut oil, with an immensely rich tradition
of cookery, and within a reasonable distance there are many restaurants,
from the simple to the gastronomic.
