PERIGORD VERT
The Dordogne is a country of many faces in its geographical features and climate. The temperate climate is evident throughout the Périgord in the gentle winters and moderate summer temperatures. The position of the valleys, the rolling hills, the profile and position of the forested hillsides, the clear felled land and the lakes all create a range of particular climatic zones. Summers are generally hot and dry.
The Périgord Vert and the Nontron region is thick with trees from pines to heather. Here the chestnut tree rules the land. This is a land of lakes and valleys - a land where the rich prairies converge with the gentle slopes.
The area was an ancient populated region, as evident in the innumerable prehistoric sites. During the Roman times the Périgord was the land of the Petrocorii Celts. In the 13th century it fell under the power of the duchy of Aquitaine with whom it came under English rule, following the marriage of Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry II of England (1152). In 1398 the king of France removed the duchy of the Périgord from his kingdom and it passed successively to the House of Orleans, the House of Penthièvre and then to the House of Albret, before being incorporated into the Royal kingdom of Henry IV of France(1670). In 1790 the Périgord was detached from the rule of Bordeaux to form the largest part of the department of the Dordogne.
Second to Paris, the Dordogne has probably the richest heritage of historical monuments in France. The incredibly rich Perigourdine heritage create a wonderful region :
· innumerable prehistoric sites
· 1500 châteaux and manors
· troglodyte sites
· geological sites
· fortified walled towns
· roman churches (400 in total)
· the charm of the countryside.
Numerous walks and visits, sporting activities for all levels (horse riding, canoeing, mountain biking) allow you to discover a region in a cultural, educational and entertaining way.
PERIGUEUX
Perigueux was founded around 0 AD on a hill shaped by the curving River Isle. Its population of 35,000 have a reputation for their friendly natures and cheerfulness. You'd probably be the same too if you woke up to such a fantastic setting each morning! A lot of work has been invested by the city council into restoring the Medieval and Rennaisence quarter, Puy St-Front, with its distinct white limestone buildings.
The town was originally inhabited by a Gaulish tribe called Petrocorri. It was the Romans, however, who claim the credit for developing the town into the department’s prosperous capital. Today it is still a major market town, although many people choose it as a more relaxing alternative to Toulouse. The market takes place on Wednesdays and Saturdays when people come from all over the region to display their goods and browse for the latest bargains. The local specialties are truffles and pies.
The Roman part of the town is known as La Cite. Within this area you will find the Musee du Perigord with its extensive display of local findings. There are a number of fantastic frescoes, mosaics and jewellery items on display but it's most impressive possessions are the alter dating from 2 BC and the three skeletons, which are ranked among the oldest ever found.
Perigueux is the proud owner of the largest cathedral in southwestern France. The Romanesque Cathedrale St-Front was only completed in the 19th Century when the architect Paul Abadie oversaw the restoration and embellishment of the building
Around the cathedral you will find a number of winding lanes from the 15th and 16th Centuries. Follow them down to the pedestrianised Rue Limogeanne and you will find where the locals have been doing most of their shopping since the Middle Ages
