The Périgord belongs to Aquitaine, the south-western part of France, and includes the Département Dordogne with its capital city Périgueux. The American writer Henry Miller was not the only one to describe this tranquil, rural region as "paradise". And, due to the over-abundance of its natural and cultural treasures, this still seems a fitting description of the Périgord's gentle, hilly landscape with its meandering rivers. There is much to delight the traveller here - over a thousand castles, fortified villages or bastides from the Middle Ages, about 200 caves and grottoes from the cradle of humankind and, of course, numerous culinary delicacies. How about truffled "foie gras" accompanied by a glass of "monbazillac", a naturally sweet dessert wine? After all, the Périgueux is a gourmet's paradise! Stopovers on the journey include Bergerac, Sarlat, Monpazier and Périgueux.
