Further north Nontron and its famous knives is also worth a visit.
Also near here is the Chateau de Puyguilhem. The stunning riverside village of Brantome is a must-see in this area as is the nearby village and chateau of Bourdeilles and the beautiful village of Saint-Jean-de Cole. The Perigord Vert is the most northerly part of the Dordogne and is named for the green chestnut and oak forests common to the area. Some of the many highlights of this visit will include visiting the caves at Lascaux and Font de Gaume and exploring the charming market towns of Le Bugue and Montignac. The Vezere valley is home to an astonishing number of prehistoric caves and shelters as well as many charming towns and villages. The second visit would cover the Vezere Valley from Le Bugue up to Montignac. Be sure to see the caves at Gouffre de Padirac. This visit could stretch further upstream (towards the east), along the Dordogne Valley from Sarlat to Rocamadour via Souillac. Some of the many highlights of this visit will include canoeing on the Dordogne, visiting the most beautiful villages of Domme and Beynac and the magnificent castles along this stretch of the river. The first visit could encompass the lower Dordogne valley, the area between Saint Cyprien and Sarlat. So many are concentrated into this area that we would recommend splitting your visit in to two. It is in the Perigord Noir that most of the highlights of the Dordogne area can be found. The Perigord Noir is the south-easterly part of the perigord and is named for the dark oak forests that cover much of the landscape.
