For tourists, the epicentre, indeed the epicurean centre, of this Dordogne is an area known as 'le Perigord noir', situated in the south east of the department.

The French National Museum of prehistory is at Les Eyzies, while the grotto at Lascaux boasts the world’s most famous prehistoric cave paintings.

The Château de Montaigne, where philosopher Michel de Montaigne lived in the 16th century, is situated in the commune.

This region stretches up the west coast of France from its border with Spain up to the mouth of the Bordeaux river. It has a long coastline but also sweeps inland a long way and include part of the Pyrenees mountain range. In the Middle Ages, Aquitaine was allied with the Plantagenet kings of England, so the region has many historic connections with the United Kingdom, most notably through the wine trade.
