This is one amazing thing about joining a group trip is that depending on the trip, you can have a tour guide taking you around. We also wanted to meet her as we had booked her for the week of the trip to Dordogne to be the tour guide for our trip. The benefits of using guides for your vacation We wanted to speak to someone to just talk through the trip and make sure that all the calculations that we had made regarding the itinerary would work and that we were making the maximum use of the time we had. We hired her for a couple of days when we were putting the finishing touches to our Dordogne trip. Anne-Lise is a tour guide from the Dordogne that we met for the first time a couple of years ago. We look for a place to sit among the gourmands who have all had the same idea as us, and find ourselves very quickly putting the world to rights while night falls gently in the heat of the summer.In today’s episode, we’ll be talking to Anne-Lise. Our ritual is to go to the night market of Saint-Cyprien or Bugue in the early evening.Īt this time of the day, it is certainly the aromas that lead us to the stalls, where we crack for a Périgord salad. Gastronomy and greed oblige, browsing the night markets of the Dordogne is not only discovering the know-how of the craftsmen, but also offering a mix of flavours. Night atmosphere at Dordogne producers' markets In June, it is even the children who drag us out of bed, eager to find their next holiday reading at the comic fair. In the medieval city of Issigeac, we arrive early so as to see the best items at the brocante, before consuming our goodies under the chestnut trees. Sunday is punctuated by good meals, much loved home cooking, with recipes passed on to the children so they in their turn can reproduce them. We do not have time to taste it before the neighbour adds some home produced prunes! A real family atmosphere typically found at the Périgord markets. We find Pierre, who beckons us among the visitors: "Come and see some friends, I have found a small goats cheese, you can tell me your news!".

On Thursday, a family trip to the famous Monpazier market. There is a tradition that we never deviate from! Bring your camera to capture the beautiful secrets of the Bastide markets in the Périgord: a hidden ogival door, an alley sublimated by the sun's rays, a basket of vegetables with flamboyant colours. just before the final frame, we enjoy a small aperitif on a terrace just enough to gently awaken our appetite! Fellini would have also had a crush on this village with its sweet airs of Dolce Vita. On Friday, we set off for the Venice of the Dordogne! Small cobbled streets and charming canals, we love Brantôme market. And to find our favourite butcher, you need to visit the indoor market (open Tuesday to Saturday). We take the opportunity to regularly find books that cannot be found at the bookshop. Bergerac marketĪt the height of summer, Friday morning - Place Gambetta is shaded at this time of the day! Here too, we find products of craftsmen and nuances of the Dordogne: the black gold of Périgord (the truffle), flamboyant baskets of delicious vegetables, and of course the famous local strawberries offering a festival of aromas and colours.Įvery Wednesday and Saturday, Bergerac market also extends around Notre-Dame church and Place Louis de la Bardonnie. With the idea of a family picnic in mind, we go off in search of our favourite regional products, and those advised by stallholders on each of our visits: good organic bread with seeds, goose foie gras, some tomatoes for an improvised salad, garlic for health, not to mention summer truffle tapenade, that can be found at Chez Francis "Sixth Sense", Place Saint-Silain, Périgueux. Start the day with a coffee/croissant opposite the cathedral Saint-Front before a stroll in the alleys of Périgueux market, not forgetting Rue Limogeanne, most famous for its gourmet shops.īasket in hand, we participate in local life, amongst the local accents, laughter of the tradesmen, and that special perfume of Périgord strawberries, our little Proustian moment, that one buys by punnetfuls to make jam with the children! During the holidays, it is always a pleasure to rediscover the same ritual.
