In the upper Dordogne valley, stretches of untouched land invite both contemplation and discovery. In the heart of Périgord Noir, a region marked by the Hundred Years' War, the subsoils hide as many treasures as the many castles. Finally, as you approach the mouth of the river, the Libournais region reveals itself through its vineyard landscapes.
