Dordogne

Today I bring to you a excellent place to go on vacantions, Dordogne, a region of France.

As you know I am passionate about France and all about this great Country, and I have found this region with great houses to rent, which are really beautiful.

But lets talk a little about Dordogne, this is a departament of Aquitaine full of Castles and Chateaux (which are like small palaces in the middle of the country), its located at the south-west France between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pyrenees Mountains. On this region also are some museums, some roman ruins and specially some very good scenery and landscapes.

Some of the main cities of Dordogne are Périguaux ( the place of the roman ruins), Bergerac (probably the place of birth of Cyrano de Bergerac), Nontron, Périgord (with a medieval fortress) and Sarlat-la-Canéda.

So there is a lot to see at this region, and also great places do stay, like some private hollidays villas at Perigord-Noir , or some hollidays gites to rent at Perigord Poupre.

When the hollidays arrive, and if you are in France, you do have to visit la Dordogne!
