Dramatic rock faces, sparkling rivers, green valleys, Chateaux, medieval
villages, prehistoric caves and brilliant sunlight. The Dordogne, the very heart of Perigord has been described by some as paradise. As you pass fields of sunflowers and corn and marvel at castles towering at the top of cliffs you begin
to understand why!
The region surrounding ‘Le Banquet’ is dominated by pre-history, beautiful
architecture and gastronomy. The local markets are full to brimming with some
of the best produce France has to offer. Whether you wish to visit the local
caves with their drawings dating back 20,000 years, picnic by the banks of the Vezere river, taste the excellent wines from Bergerac, Cahors and surround or canoe and perhaps fish, ‘Le Banquet’ is at the very heart of it all.
If you are a food lover, then welcome to gastronomic heaven! Ceps, truffles and Foie Gras are all readily available as are the freshest vegetables, herbs, meat, poultry and game. Simply visit one of the many local markets to stock up on
good things to prepare back in your cottage kitchen.
If you prefer to eat out, Les Eyzies and the surrounding area has
many
excellent restaurants.
