As you know, we find it hard to stay put, so whenever Matthieu and I come to spend a few days in <strong>the P\u00e9rigord<\/strong>, I take the opportunity to show him a new area. Now we&#8217;re enjoying visiting this beautiful region with our daughter even more.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All this to say that we did a lot of wandering in the <strong>Dordogne <\/strong>, and there are a lot of beautiful villages. So, in this article we&#8217;re going to share with you our favorite Dordogne towns and villages, which we&#8217;ve chosen to classify by <strong>P\u00e9rigord color<\/strong>. Why is the P\u00e9rigord divided into different zones, each with its own specific color? Yet another peculiarity of this d\u00e9partement, which goes by 2 different names (Dordogne or P\u00e9rigord)! We explain it all below.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A quick note before we start: Obviously, we haven&#8217;t visited every village in the Dordogne yet, and this selection has been made from those we have. Feel free to leave us a comment at the end of the article with your favorite villages to share with other readers.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped

Dordogne a very dark appearance. We love this area for the <strong>beauty of its<\/strong> natural <strong>landscapes<\/strong>, made up of cliffs offering breathtaking views, crossed by two magnificent rivers, the Dordogne and V\u00e9z\u00e8re. We think it&#8217;s one of the most beautiful landscapes in France!<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another feature of this area is the number of <strong>prehistoric sites<\/strong>, such as the <strong>Lascaux caves<\/strong>, and <strong>medieval villages<\/strong> to see, with <strong>Sarlat-la-Can\u00e9da<\/strong> at its epicenter. No fewer than <strong>9 villages<\/strong> have been awarded the &#8220;Most Beautiful Villages in France&#8221; label.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"716553\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #716553;\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"1200\" data-id=\"11194\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0502-scaled-scaled-e1701433221127-900x1200.webp\" alt=\"lascaux perigueux Dordogne\" class=\"wp-image-11194 not-transparent\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0502-scaled-scaled-e1701433221127-900x1200.webp 900w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0502-scaled-scaled-e1701433221127-400x533.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0502-scaled-scaled-e1701433221127-384x512.webp 384w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0502-scaled-scaled-e1701433221127-768x1024.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0502-scaled-scaled-e1701433221127-1152x1536.webp 1152w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0502-scaled-scaled-e1701433221127.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"998769\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #998769;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"1200\" data-id=\"11208\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0509-scaled-scaled-e1701433457790-900x1200.webp\" alt=\"La roque gageac dordogne\" class=\"wp-image-11208 not-transparent\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0509-scaled-scaled-e1701433457790-900x1200.webp 900w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0509-scaled-scaled-e1701433457790-400x533.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0509-scaled-scaled-e1701433457790-384x512.webp 384w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0509-scaled-scaled-e1701433457790-768x1024.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0509-scaled-scaled-e1701433457790-1152x1536.webp 1152w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0509-scaled-scaled-e1701433457790.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"84745e\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #84745e;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"1200\" data-id=\"11198\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0505-scaled-e1701433350417-900x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11198 not-transparent\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0505-scaled-e1701433350417-900x1200.webp 900w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0505-scaled-e1701433350417-384x512.webp 384w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0505-scaled-e1701433350417-768x1024.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0505-scaled-e1701433350417-1152x1536.webp 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sarlat-la-Caneda\"><\/span>Sarlat-la-Can\u00e9da  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s start with the village we recommend you visit: <strong>Sarlat<\/strong>!

This garden, located at the top of the village, is an ideal place to admire the confluence of the two rivers and relax in a peaceful setting.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Saint-Amand-de-Coly\"><\/span>Saint-Amand-de-Coly  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A final village we recommend you explore in the P\u00e9rigord Noir, it&#8217;s also located next to the <strong>Lascaux cave<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nestled in a green setting, <strong>Saint-Amand-de-Coly<\/strong> is famous for its 12th-century <strong>fortified abbey<\/strong>, one of the finest in the region, and it&#8217;s easy to see why. This small village offers an atmosphere of tranquillity and authenticity, where time seems to have stood still.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_must-see_town_in_Perigord_Blanc\"><\/span>The must-see town in P\u00e9rigord Blanc<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>P\u00e9rigord Blanc<\/strong>, in the center of the Dordogne, owes its name to its often light-colored limestone soils.

This area, watered by numerous streams, offers a verdant landscape.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brantome\"><\/span>Brant\u00f4me  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We switch to the P\u00e9rigord Vert to arrive in the pretty little commune of Brantome, nicknamed the<strong>&#8220;Venice of P\u00e9rigord<\/strong>&#8220;, and you&#8217;ll soon understand why! It&#8217;s a village some twenty kilometers north of P\u00e9rigueux, surrounded by the waters of the Dronne. This unique village, with its thousand-year-old abbey, picturesque bridges and houses nestling on the water&#8217;s edge, is a delightful place to stroll.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nous adorons d\u00e9couvrir les artisans locaux (ne ratez pas le souffeur de verre) et \u00e9videment manger de bons petits plats p\u00e9rigourdins sur une terrasse donnant sur la rivi\u00e8re. Le restaurant gastronomique <strong>Charbonnel<\/strong> est une super adresse, c&#8217;est notre QG pour les grandes occasions !<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, the must-see building in Brant\u00f4me is the <strong>abbey, with its 11th-century Romanesque bell tower<\/strong>, one of the oldest in France and a must-see for history and architecture enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-15 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"677367\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #677367;\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"48389\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/c173d684-2882-4060-abeb-495e404084f8-1200x900.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48389 not-transparent\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Saint-Jean-de-Cole\"><\/span>Saint-Jean-de-C\u00f4le  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A second village to visit in this area is Saint-Jean-de-C\u00f4le, with its reddish-brown tiled roofs and white stone houses. Listed as one of <strong>France&#8217;s most beautiful villages<\/strong> (yet another), it&#8217;s famous for its 12th-century castle, Romanesque church and medieval bridge over the C\u00f4le.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recommend a stroll through the narrow streets down to the river to admire its small stone bridges.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Our_most_beautiful_villages_and_towns_in_Perigord_Pourpre\"><\/span>Our most beautiful villages (and towns) in P\u00e9rigord Pourpre<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, P\u00e9rigord Pourpre, located in the south-west, owes its name to the <strong>vineyards of the Bergerac region<\/strong>, which produce red, white and ros\u00e9 wines. This area is dotted with vineyards, bastides and castles, offering a varied landscape of picturesque villages and farmland. P\u00e9rigord Pourpre is also known for its wine and food festivals.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recommend you try <strong>Monbazillac<\/strong>, a mellow white wine that goes perfectly with foie gras. <strong>P\u00e9charmant<\/strong>, a red wine, goes very well with all good P\u00e9rigord dishes (sarladaises potatoes, duck confit, etc.).<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bergerac\"><\/span>Bergerac<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bergerac, nestled in the heart of the P\u00e9rigord Pourpre region of the Dordogne, is a captivating town renowned for its vineyards, producing such prized wines as Monbazillac and P\u00e9charmant. The name will certainly ring a bell, as the town is well known for its association with the legend of <strong>Cyrano de Bergerac<\/strong>, although the writer never lived there&#8230;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its historic center is no exception, with cobbled streets and half-timbered houses offering a pleasant setting for a stroll. Bordered by the Dordogne River, Bergerac is ideal for strolling along its quays.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, you&#8217;ll find all the attractions of a city here, with plenty of bars, restaurants and cultural activities. We recommend the restaurant Le <strong>Bistro d&#8217;en Face<\/strong>, for its delicious cuisine and stunning setting, with its riverside terrace overlooking Bergerac&#8217;s old town and the Dordogne.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bergerac market is also an excellent place to sample P\u00e9rigord specialities.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-16 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"7a7a7a\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #7a7a7a;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" data-id=\"48520\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/508777-800x1200.webp\" alt=\"bergerac, narrow street, old street\" class=\"wp-image-48520 not-transparent\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/508777-800x1200.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/508777-jpg-400x600.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/508777-jpg-200x300.webp 200w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/508777-341x512.webp 341w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/508777-jpg.webp 853w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"6b6755\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #6b6755;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" data-id=\"48515\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/890086-800x1200.webp\" alt=\"cyrano de bergerac, bergerac, monument\" class=\"wp-image-48515 not-transparent\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/890086-800x1200.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/890086-jpg-400x600.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/890086-jpg-200x300.webp 200w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/890086-341x512.webp 341w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/890086-jpg.webp 853w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"827679\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #827679;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"48509\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/8d47a617-3d02-4ad6-a9ed-b560a89a0f91-jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48509 not-transparent\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/8d47a617-3d02-4ad6-a9ed-b560a89a0f91-jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/8d47a617-3d02-4ad6-a9ed-b560a89a0f91-jpg-400x400.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/8d47a617-3d02-4ad6-a9ed-b560a89a0f91-jpg-120x120.webp 120w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/8d47a617-3d02-4ad6-a9ed-b560a89a0f91-512x512.webp 512w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/8d47a617-3d02-4ad6-a9ed-b560a89a0f91-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Monpazier\"><\/span>Monpazier  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To round off this list, we&#8217;ve added another little nugget to the Dordogne, the <strong>village of Monpazier<\/strong>, founded in 1284 and considered one of the region&#8217;s best preserved and most typical bastides. Of course, this village is still a &#8220;Plus Beaux Village de France&#8221; (Most Beautiful Village in France).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We fell in love with its <strong>central square<\/strong> lined with arcades and its straight, orderly streets, a remarkable example of medieval town planning.

These rock-cut dwellings offer a unique insight into human ingenuity and adaptation to the natural environment. Here is a list of the main sites we recommend you visit:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>La <strong>Roque Saint-Christophe<\/strong> is one of the region&#8217;s most impressive troglodyte sites. This fortified village, built right into the cliff, traces over 55,000 years of human occupation.

It&#8217;s an immersive experience of daily life in the past. We really like the part where numerous extras bring to life the <strong>trades of yesteryear<\/strong>: cutler, potter, miller, brewer&#8230; The village is always <strong>lively<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the place to be with children. I spent many days there as a child, and I still have fond memories of it. Children and adults alike can take part in traditional activities, such as bread-making or sheep-shearing, offering a truly fun and interactive approach. For children, there are even period games and rides.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recommend this outing on a sunny day, as many activities take place outdoors. All in all, a great family day out.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-18 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"668999\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #668999;\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"11278\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-01-10-at-10.17.39-6-scaled-1200x900.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11278 not-transparent\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Map_of_our_most_beautiful_villages_in_the_Dordogne\"><\/span>Map of our most beautiful villages in the Dordogne<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ve put together a map showing all the villages listed above, as well as the <strong>main things <\/strong>to do in the Dordogne.
