Go back Limousin & Dordogne

Experience the area

Experience what the Limousin or Dordogne has on offer, its lifestyle and its inhabitants.

Besides the regular markets, there are also many special markets such as flea markets or other car boot sales (vide-grenier), farmers’ markets with only local made products or foods.

Experiencing Limousin or Dordogne also means eating in one of the many restaurants dotted around the area. Almost every village has a restaurant. Food is very important to the locals. While they eat their main meal at lunchtime, ie. between 12 and 2pm, life is very quiet in the area. Because people often eat in a restaurant, quality standards are high, hence you can have an all inclusive lunch menu including a glass of wine for about 15 euros.
