Dordogne

The Départment of the Dordogne takes its name from the principal river, rising in the Massif Central and flowing from north-east to west to join the Gironde, reaching the sea close to Bordeaux. The Départment is huge, one of the biggest in France, extending a long way towards Angoulême and Limoges in the north. South of the River Dordogne, the boundary is close to Monpazier, Biron and Eymet. From east to west, the distance is similar, almost from Bordeaux to the fringes of Brive and Souillac. The administrative capital and largest town, Périgueux, is close to the centre. The ancient ‘Périgord’ coincides almost exactly with the modern ‘Dordogne’ and for all practical purposes the two names may be regarded as interchangeable. The former is most often used in a historic, gastronomic or traditional context, whilst the latter is correct for modern administrative purposes, including tourist information.
Particularly for tourism, the area is divided into four areas, each having certain distinctions of character:
The Green Périgord comprises the northern end of the Dordogne, richly verdant and crossed by many rivers and streams such as the Dronne, the Bandiat and the higher reaches of the Isle and the Auvézère. Principal towns include Riberac, Nontron, Thiviers and Brantôme. The area is the least visited of the four, only Brantôme being a notable visitor town.
The White Périgord lies immediately to the south of the Green, a great swathe from east to west, including the main town, Périgueux. Here the dominant landscape combines wide limestone plateaux, shallow valleys and rolling meadows, crossed by the Rivers Auvézère and Isle. Savignac Les Eglises, Sorges, St. Astier and Mussidan are among the more important settlements.
The Black Périgord includes the valleys of the two great rivers, the Dordogne itself and the Vézère, with the concentrated areas of pre-history, Lascaux and Les Eyzies, the most attractive riverside towns and villages, Montignac, Beynac, Limeuil, La Roque Gageac, Domme, and many of the châteaux and other major visitor attractions. This is the true heart of ‘holiday Dordogne’.
The Purple Périgord is the south-western part of the départment. Much of the land is included in the great wine-growing areas around Bergerac, both north and south of the River Dordogne, but Bergerac itself, the fine ‘bastides’ and other medieval towns such as Monpazier, Beaumont, Eymet and Issigeac, and the châteaux, Biron, Lanquais and Monbazillac, provide the greatest visitor interest.
