Dordogne - A trip to the Périgord

The Dordogne, formerly the province of Périgord, is adorned with colours through its landscapes and its terroir. Périgord, a privileged witness to human presence from prehistory to the present day, boasts 4 colours representative of its identity. Black for its dense forests, purple for its vineyards, white for its white limestone rock, and green for its luxuriant nature. So many territories with varied expertise and landscapes that will delight culinary enthusiasts and history buffs alike!
