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


   

The canton of Cadouin would like visitors to be able to take advantage of its main attractions during the course of their holidays.

A fantastic historical heritage : the Cistercian abbey of Cadouin (listed as a World Heritage Site), the bastide of Molières, the medieval village of Urval, and the charming, Périgourdin rural architecture seen throughout the region.

A beautifully preserved natural environment : from the chalk cliffs of the Dordogne valley
to the wooded slopes of the Bessède ; the surrounding countryside is as varied as it is beautiful.

Come discover the caves of Maxange, caverns that are exceptional because of their concretions, which are sizeable and of high quality. You will see classic stalactites and stalagmites, but, above all, the eccentric cyrstallised panels, which are ablsolutely remarkable. The density and quality of this type of concretion make a rare group in this cavern.

   

Sports and leisure activities : the beaches of the Dordogne River, canoeing, archery, tennis, hiking trails and walks (9 circuits covering 120km to be followed on foot, horseback or mountain-bike).

A lively cultural scene : the LUX cinema, the library, concerts, shows...

Extensive accommodation possibilities : campsites, hotels, holiday cottages, B+B, farm ‘auberges’, holiday centre, youth hostel. Choices to suit all tastes, all budgets.
