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


 

The architectural heritage around Sigoulès is full of many small churches that can be visited (Monbos, Puyguilhem, Cunèges, Pomport ...).
The Lestignac church in Sigoulès is included in the supplementary inventory of historic buildings (Romanesque and Gothic art, carved altar from the 17th century).

A number of maintained and marked hiking trails criss-cross the town and allow access to the surrounding communities.
If you use them, you might pass in front of a fountain or a dovecote...but above all, you have the opportunity to appreciate the diversity of the surrounding landscapes and the play of light on the countryside, depending on the time of day of your discovery walk.
A guide of the walking tours is available at Sigoulès Tourist Office

     
 

On the Festive Side

The Sigoulès wine fair (the Wine Fair Committee)
has opened on the third weekend of July since 1975, to promote our region. Alternating with the city of Bergerac, this fair hosts the show of regional wines of the Bergerac area every other year.
Thousands of visitors criss-cross the streets of the village in search of winemakers, gastronomy, crafts and restaurateurs during these two days, and enjoy the daytime entertainment and evening shows.
This fair, with no entry fee, is the flagship event of our district, where conviviality and good humour prevail.

     

The aillet omelette on May 1 (Festival Committee) brings together many trout fishers (for a competition) and fans of this traditional omelette. (Translator’s note: aillet is a kind of garlic.)

The bric-a-brac sale (Festival Committee)
in early June, brings together over 80 exhibitors. On-site catering.

The Music Festival (Festival Committee)
offers a relaxing evening.
Various musical groups to discover, and time for an outdoor meal.

The gourmet markets (Festival Committee),
Friday evenings in July and August, overrun the large village square, where the smells and flavours mingle for the pleasure of those who-love good times, and you are more numerous every year. A musical accompaniment gives rhythm to the evening.

The wine harvest festival
(Tourist Centre and "The Cousteau" school group) has become a tradition. It is held the 1st weekend of October. Night time harvest and village torchlight procession at the Lycée du Cluzeau. Regional food on site.
