TRAVEL ICONS
Dordogne's countryside tempts one's senses with fragrant orchards, dew-kissed vineyards and rolling fields of sunflowers. It is a fairy tale land of medieval villages, castles, lords and ladies, and breathtaking countryside that in the summer blossoms with fields of sunflowers. Given its scenery and serenity, it's difficult to believe that Dordogne was once the site of fierce fighting during the 100-Years War between France and England. In fact, this sleepy southwest region of France belies its tumultuous past - save its ancient fortresses, stone cottages, towering cliffs and artifact-rich caves.
And although many tourists have neglected Dordogne for the internationally popular Provence, this area provides an ideal setting for creating culinary magic - fresh market experiences that hearken memories of Richard the Lionhearted and Eleanor of Aquitaine. In fact, food and wine rule as equals in this historic region.
