WHITE PERIGORD the countryside of Perigeux and the Isle Valley at the heart of the department, is that of chalk uplands and wide valleys of meadows criss-crossed by the Auvezere and Isle rivers. From Hautefort to Montpon, passing via the capital of the Dordogne, Perigueux, the White Perigord welcomes amongst other things, the villages of Savignac-les-Eglises, Sorges and its truffles, Saint-Astier, Neuvic and Mussidan.

It's the seductive darkness of the deep green oak forests that has given this area its "black" appellation. And it is in this valley of majestic honey-coloured cliffs that you will find a large portion of the sites that have made the Perigord so famous. Here more than anywhere else, stones evoke the past. It is here that the most beautiful constructions of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance have survived especially well through the centuries.

The Bergerac country
Land of wine In our imagination, Bergerac is a name often associated with Cyrano. But despite his name, the famous poet with the long nose, had no relationship with the Périgord. The people of Bergerac are especially known for the plenitude and quality of their wine production. Here, the Dordogne river joins the Garonne, passing through a broad fertile valley surrounded by hillsides of vineyards.

Jules Verne called this region "Green Perigord," which stretches in a crescent shape across the north of the department of Dordogne.

Its hills and humid climate combine with the impermeable soils to produce an all-year-round greenery of growth - even in the driest summers. Water is all around: from everywhere streams flow, towards the Bandiat, the Tardoire or converge on the Dronne, the Isle or the Auvézère
