Everything about P Rigord totally explained
The
Périgord (
Occitan:
Peiregòrd / Perigòrd) is a
former province of
France, which corresponds roughly to the current
Dordogne département, now forming the northern part of the
Aquitaine région. It is divided into four regions, the Périgord(s) Noir, Blanc, Vert and Pourpre; its geography and natural resources make it one of the untouched regions of Europe, and the newly-created
Parc Naturel Régional Périgord-Limousin aims to conserve it as such.
The area is noted for its
cuisine, more particularly its products related to
ducks and
geese, such as
foie gras. It is one of the
truffle areas of France, historically the most famous. Périgourdine wines include the famed Bergerac (rouges and blancs) and Monbazillac.
The
préfecture (capital) of the Dordogne is
Périgueux, a city steeped in history. There are fine
Roman ruins which have been restored and the whole area is known as the 'birthplace of mankind' due to its wealth of
prehistoric sites, of which the most famous prehistoric site is the painted cave of
Lascaux.
The Périgord is also the land of 1001 medieval and Renaissance castles like
Puymartin,
Losse,
Hautefort and
Beynac situated mainly along the Dordogne and Vézère rivers. Other castles include:
Jumilhac le Grand,
Fénelon,
Biron,
Bourdeilles,
Castelnaud,
Puyguilhem,
Rouffiac.
