Dordogne, Limousin & Lot
In the Hundred Years’ War, this region was one of France’s most contested areas. Marked by a striking natural beauty of deep oak forests, rich emerald landscapes and twisting rivers, Dordogne, Limousin and Lot allures with its great artistic legacy, exponentially strong in the fire arts and weaving industries. Limoges leads the way as the capital of porcelain, the birthplace of an enduring know-how cherished in other corners of the world for its quality and refined aesthetics. Aubusson, on the other hand, shares the tangible, material culture of the traditional and modern tapisserie in its museums dedicated to this artistic expression. Across the different hamlets, villages and towns that compose this region in southwestern France, visitors are welcomed by the charismatic and beguiling ambience of the medieval châteaux of Beynac and Castelnaud and the surviving remains of the Roman Empire rule. Unfolding Dordogne, Limousin and Lot, town by town, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sense the nuances of the country’s cultural identity and historical heritage. Along the way, the lavish flavours and aromas of truffles, pâtés, cheeses and rich wines will fill your palate with the best from French cuisine.
