Riberac tourist information
Dating from the 9th century and set in the Dronne valley, Riberac is at its best on a Friday, market day for reputedly the biggest market in Perigord. At most other times it is fairly quiet.
The town lacks significant individual attractions but is a pleasant town in an attractive setting in the rolling countryside of the northern Dordogne region.
There are two main attractions near the town - a large forest, the 'Foret de la Double'; and lots and lots of Romanesque churches. For me, three or four suffice...some examples can be seen at Festalemps, Faye and Siorac-de-Riberac.
If you are keen, there is a pretty circuit that passes by many of the little villages and churches of the region, ask in the tourist office.
Riberac makes a very good base for exploring this northern part of the Dordogne
- don't miss Lusignac, a very pretty little village with good views,
a nice medieval church and a chateau.
