St Alvère in the Périgord :
the first truffle market
in France to have gone
on-line !
 



Remains of the Bastide walls, overlooked by the Montard House and gardens.

The Bastide
Founded in 1267 by Jean de La Linde.

The riverside bastide is characterised by its regular town plan with roads and alleys crossing at right angles, and its central square. Two original fortified gateways still stand.
Stroll around the town for the best view of its beautiful, characterful houses such as the Governor’s House in the Place de la République and the Montard House and magnificent, terraced garden overlooking the river. The latter is open to the public and houses the Tourist Information Office.

The Medieval Village of St Colombe
Well worth the detour via the north side slopes.

A typical village of local, yellow stone houses grouped around a small, Romanesque church (listed on the Supplementary Inventory of Historical Monuments).
Château de la Finou, just outside the hamlet, is now a large holiday centre and enjoys magnificent views of the surrounding countryside from its towers.
