Perigord offers an ideal mix of cycling, history, and gastronomy. Cycling, history, gastronomy are what brings people in the first place to visit this lovely part of France-- straddled between the Lot and Dordogne rivers.

We love this region and we will show it to you!!! Our top reason being that we love ducks! And Dordogne is the land of duck, it's Duckland, it's Duckdogne. Duck, goose, and wine are the diet's staples for most people there who surprinsingly enjoy the longest life expectancy of all regions in France!

As one can read in the Rough Guide: "This is the land of duck and goose, of foie gras and truffles, of succulent lamb, smoky-sweet goats' cheeses and a rainbow array of fruits and vegetables to be sampled in simple country inns or in elegant dining rooms dedicated to haute cuisine. The choice of wines is no less intoxicating..."

Of course, there is more: medieval castles, natural areas of striking beauty, and caves adorned with 25,000 year old paintings and "fresh" footprints seemingly left yesterday by kids that date back to the time when mammoth was the meat of choice.
