Staying in the Dordogne next year and....?

Question

wondered what sites are a must, apart from the caves at Lascaux

Answer 1

the type of region where you can drive with no goals, just enjoying the beauty, bet on a little river where you could fish trouts

Answer 2

To me, the best thing there is just the THERE, if I'm making sense.  Float or kayak on the river, hike, visit the small towns, just hang.  There are some good medieval castles.

Here is a site with photos of the area, including the castles:

You can follow up any of them that you like on a search engine.

Answer 3

The Cressenssac gardens are definitely something I'd like to see, the view is magnificent. You have lots of castles everywhere and of course, it's the place for the foie gras, if I were you I'd go on a diet before going and then, enjoying the food. Périgueux has a nice cathedral, but like I said, everywhere, you'll find castles or churches worth a visit.
