Les Cabanes de Vaure

Ask the team about the local markets, flea markets and events such as flower and garden shows in the region, or set out by bike or car to investigate the local Dordogne towns and villages and the farms built with piles of regional stone. Brantôme and Bourdeilles need at least a day each if you're in the region, Brantôme for its stunning setting on the banks of the Dronne, its spectacular Benedictine abbey and its pretty stone bridge (you can canoe through town should you so wish). At Bourdeilles, there's another river setting and ancient stone bridge, as well as the handsome Château de Bourdeilles, dating back to the 13th century. At Périgueux, a designated Town of Art and History, sights include a medieval and a Roman centre, the UNESCO World Heritage Site cathedral, and Wednesday and Saturday morning markets in the Place de la Clautre. And quite a whole heap more... make the Périgueux tourist office your first stop, to pick up a carte touristique detailing the highlights of this spectacular city.
