Local Attractions - The Perigord Vert
The Perigord Vert is an area of outstanding
natural beauty and has many fairytale chateaux, medieval villages and prehistoric
caves. The area is also famous for its cuisine, truffles and foie gras. The
historic centres of Sarlat, Domme, Limoges, Périgueux, Beynac and
Brantome are all within 
an
hour's drive.The remarkable caves at Lascaux with their prehistoric paintings
are within reasonable driving distance and whilst the original cave system
is closed to the public, the replica, Lascaux 2, is a very busy tourist attraction.
It is worth planning a visit to Lascaux in advance as tickets are not available
onsite: they have to be purchased at the tourist centre in Montignac.
Near Lascaux is the medieval town of Sarlat, it is perfectly restored and a delight to wander around its narrow streets and alleys. Sarlat has a magnificent market on Saturdays.
Beynac and Rocamadour are beautiful examples of towns built into the cliff faces overlooking the Dordogne and are of course great attractions. Driving along the winding roads around Rocamadour is not for the faint-hearted!
