If you are putting France on the top of your list for this summer, don’t settle only for Paris, the south-west has so much more to offer! Large and hilly green spaces as far as the eye can see, the Périgord will seduce you with many outdoor activities! The visits are endless – from regional markets, panoramic gardens à la Française, prehistoric caves and museums, to medieval and renaissance castles – there is definitely something for every taste! And that is not to mention the countless walking, biking or kayaking tours you can enjoy in the region.

Beautiful gardens à la française in Périgord

Today, I would like to suggest you one of my favourite festive place to enjoy summer in Périgord: Eyrignac & its gardens

Located on the heights of the hills of Eyrignac, only 15 minutes away from Sarlat, this extensive property – including historic monuments from the 17th and 18th centuries, surrounded by sculpted gardens – welcomes nature lovers all year round.
