Gourmet getaway in Périgord from Bordeaux

Strawberry, cheese, black truffle, wine… In France, we love our food and wine, and Dordogne is not an exception! Known as an agricultural and farming region, every culture is enhanced. Walnuts and chestnuts are all over the place, in cakes or distilled as a local alcoholic beverage. But the award goes to geese foie gras and duck confit with Sarladaises potatoes: be ready to see that on every menu! If you come on Wednesday or Saturday, you’ll be lucky to experience the famous and busy market of Sarlat, rich in local food and products. If you have to come on a different day, the town offers plenty of places where you’ll discover some of our generous gastronomic and emblematic products. In the afternoon, we’ll head to one of the picturesque villages in the Dordogne river valley, so you’ll be impressed by troglodyte houses or a medieval castle on top of a hill.
