| Once the capital of protestantism (16th Century), Bergeracs prosperity was based on the River Dordogne, with the ancient town built around the port. Today this lovely little town at the gates of the Bordelais region is still busy possessing one major advantage: it is the heart of a wine region with prestigious appelations such as Bergerac, Montravel, Pecharmant, and Monbazillac. The majestic Monbazillac Chateau is only four miles away to Bergerac.
The vineyards of Bergerac cover more than 25,000 acres concentrated along the Dordogne valley and around Bergerac. Dordogne reveals a fantastic scene from traditional France: timeless villages of golden stone, hilltop castles shining like visions from a medieval tale, and towering oak forests where a knight on a white horse might not look out of place.
Dordogne is a department of the Aquitaine region in southwest France within which we find the famous Perigord. Aquitaine also encompasses Bordeaux and the wine country east of Bordeaux. A legend pretends that when God distributed his castles, he started by the Loire Valley. Going far away from there, his bag burst over the Dordogne river and the Perigord region will be eternally thankful for his clumsiness!
The Perigord, rich and fertile country, is densely forested and crisscrossed by rivers flowing from the plateau of the Massif Central out to the Atlantic. Of these, the Dordogne has carved out through the center a beautiful winding valley of gentle greenery. Many Stone Age relics and caves have been found here dating from around 20,000 years ago. In the village markets, the fruit and vegetables, nuts, and mushrooms of every description bear witness to the region's self-sufficiency in food. Access:
