Things to do in White Perigord
Perigord Blanc is the name given to the central region of the Dordogne, centred around Perigueux.
The name comes from the chalk landscapes of the region, split by the River Isle that runs through the centre.
Although less visited than the other regions of the Dordogne, it has several attractions that will interest the visitor, including:
- Foret de la Double (Double Forest), to the north of the region, reminiscent of the forests of story books and much loved by walkers and fishers
- Perigueux, capital of the region
- Sorges
- Chancelade Abbey
- Isle River south-west of Perigueux: Saint-Astier, Neuvic, Mussidan, Montpon-Menéstérol
