| This lovely region has uncluttered landscapes, empty roads, clean rivers and good regional cuisine. |
| The great cave sites around Les Eyzies and Lascaux harbour contain the earliest evidence we possess of primitive art. The castles, bastides and churches that grace the countryside from Périgueux to the Pyrénées, from the Bay of Biscay to Toulouse and beyond to the Mediterranean, belong to a far more recent past. |
| This region was the battlefield for a string of conflicts. Today, nothing is left of these old struggles but crumbling ramparts, keeps and bastides, which are part of the region's cultural and artistic heritage, attracting thousands of visitors every year. All the great sights here have suffered at one time or another from attacks of marauding soldiers: from the abbey church at Moissac, the 12th-century portal of which is a masterpiece of Romanesque art, to the awesome clifftop site of Rocamadour. |
