Tourism : This region of France bathes in history, medieval castles, 100 years war… it is very rich, as are most parts of France (we are not being chauvinistic, not much that is). We have compiled below several links which should help you discover the region. Hopefully the weather will be perfect. Tourism in the Dordogne has become a highly developed activity. If possible, try to take some time off to visit at least the château de Beynac. It is also the main foie gras producing region of France, so… This venue is an excellent opportunity to discover the exceptional sights in the area : bastide of Domme, Sarlat the medieval city, troglodyte village at La Roque-Gageac, château de Beynac, château de Castelnaud...)

During the 14th century, as it prospered, Sarlat became a Bishopry. Its population was then 6000. Despite epidemics its vigorous commerce favoured growth which lead the local bourgeoisie to build numerous buildings continuously up to the 18th century. The 100 Years War and later the Wars of Religion played havoc on the city. It was taken by the Protestants in February 1574 and fell back in the hands of the Catholics in May. It became as of 1591 the nerve centre for those who did not recognize the authority of king Henry IV. The city reverted to peaceful conditions after the king’s conversion to Roman Catholicism. From The 18th century to the revolution, the city was quiet, its population had declined to 4000. In 1962 Sarlat profited from the Malraux laws on the preservation of historical monuments. Extensive works were undertaken, today Sarlat is one of the historical urban jewels of France. The château de Castelnaud was founded in the 12th century and later became the property of the Cathar Lord Bernard de Casnac early 13th century. It was then taken by Simon de Montfort in 1214 during the crusade against the Albigeois. At which time a new caste gets built. The dungeon and the main wall still stand today. The English managed to take the castle several times during the 100 Years War, the French finally held onto it as of 1442, after a siege ordered by Charles VII. The castle today, classified as a historical monument since 1966, has profited from numerous spectacular restoration campaigns and has been hosting since 1985 the Medieval Warfare Museum. The Lascaux Caves is one of the most important decorated caves due to the quantity and aesthetic qualities of the Paleolithic era. Cro Magnon may be considered one of humanity’s first artists. As one contemplates paintings in the ornate caves of the Vizère valley, one is struck with admiration for the expressiveness and for the clever use of supports. www.lascaux-dordogne.com/fr/la-grotte-de-lascaux.
