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 Saterday 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.
History Chateau de Dordogne goes back to the 12th century when it was an ancient fortified Priory. In the middle-ages Dordogne was a fortified village surrounded by ramparts. Between 1405 and 1569 Thomas head of the protestants razed the village to the ground after ferocious battle, leaving only the apse of the church and the ancient fortified Priory - the chateau - in which he lodged his garrison. Today, the ground-floor and tower, which date back to the 12th century, still exist, along the Church at the side. The upper levels of the chateau date back to the 16th century and the whole has been fully and sympathetically restored.
