FIND YOUR DREAM HOME IN DORDOGNE

The Dordogne is a popular department for foreign buyers due to great weather, lots to do, fantastic gastronomy, numerous picturesque villages and 4,000 chateaux! The department has four distinct territories. The ‘Green Périgord' in the north derives its name from its green valleys and woodland. In the centre of the department is 'White Périgord', so called because of its limestone plateaux. The 'Purple Périgord', in the South West of the department, is named from the area's grapes.

In the south-east you'll find 'Black Périgord', with deep valleys and ancient forests. It contains the towns of Saint-Cyprien and Sarlat-la-Caneda, classic yellow stone buildings, prehistoric caves and some of the most beautiful villages in France.

Nearest international airports are Limoges, Bergerac and Bordeaux.
