The landscapes of the Périgord
In the heart of a richly diverse region, ideal for countless discoveries
Located in the heart of the Périgord Noir, one of the jewels of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, the Domme area is renowned for the richness of its heritage, the beauty of its landscapes and the diversity of its iconic sites. Between medieval villages, unspoilt valleys, castles and prehistoric remains, there is always something new to discover throughout the seasons. From Domme, every route leads to landscapes, monuments and villages that rank among the most remarkable in south-west France:
- Discover Sarlat-la-Canéda, the true historic heart of the Périgord Noir, with its medieval streets, its well-preserved architectural heritage and its lively village squares.
- Explore character villages such as La Roque-Gageac, Beynac-et-Cazenac, Castelnaud-la-Chapelle and Domme, all remarkably well preserved and offering exceptional testimony to the medieval history of south-west France.
- Visit the iconic castles of the Périgord Noir, from Beynac to Castelnaud, then the Château des Milandes, the former home of Josephine Baker located around fifteen kilometres away, each illustrating a different aspect of the history of the Dordogne Valley.
- Explore the region's prehistoric sites, caves and famous chasms, from Lascaux to the Padirac Chasm, via the Lacave Caves, all bearing witness to one of France's most remarkable natural and historical heritages.
- Enjoy the Dordogne and Vézère valleys, follow the many walking trails, go canoeing or cycling, and admire landscapes that rank among the most beautiful in south-west France.
The flavours of the region
Another major asset: remarkable gastronomy enhanced by an exceptional terroir
Beyond its heritage and landscapes, the Périgord Noir cultivates an art of living in which gastronomy holds a special place. Here, the seasons naturally set the rhythm of markets, meals and gatherings, in a region where the pleasure of sharing remains a genuine tradition.
On the colourful market stalls as well as on the tables of local inns, the regional specialities reflect the generosity of the local terroir. The magnificent ceps, a natural treasure of the woodland, the festive and delicate duck or goose foie gras, the delicious Périgord walnut and its excellent oils, the flavoursome strawberries and the artisan cured meats all combine to create an authentic cuisine deeply rooted in its traditions.
For special occasions, the Périgord truffle, the region's true culinary jewel, readily shares the spotlight with caviar, the black gold of the Isle Valley and the banks of the Vézère. Périgord cheeses, such as Cabécou and Rocamadour, pair perfectly with the wines of the Bergerac region, whether dry white, medium-sweet, dessert, red or rosé, extending meals in a warm atmosphere accompanied by the sounds of bustling markets and lively terraces.
Throughout the year, gourmet markets, village festivals, terrace dining and meetings with local producers help to preserve the friendly spirit that gives the Périgord Noir its unique personality. A gentle way of life that naturally encourages family and friends to gather around a fine table to savour not only the local specialities but also the pleasure of sharing time together.
