Situated between Bordeaux, Limoges and Toulouse, the Périgord region is a strategic location for a wedding in south-west France. There's even an international airport in Bergerac. During the summer months, the Dordogne attracts a large number of European tourists. A multitude of charming accommodations are available in the area. Your guests will be spoilt for choice when it comes to accommodation!
The Dordogne is a rural, wooded region. Also known as “Périgord Vert”, the north of the département is characterized by lush vegetation and numerous watering holes. It is also home to the Parc Naturel Régional Périgord-Limousin, famous for its hiking and biking trails.
Although the Dordogne is a tourist destination with a rich cultural heritage, it's also a quiet region. Its population density is relatively low, and even the most popular towns (Bergerac, Périgueux...) and medieval villages (Sarlat-la-Canéda, La Roque Gageac...) remain welcoming.
A feast for the eyes and a feast for the taste buds! Wine, foie gras, truffles, ceps, chanterelles, chestnuts, walnuts, fine country charcuterie... all delicious specialties that your caterer will cook up better than anyone else.
In short, Périgord has a lot to offer those looking to get married in south-west France: strategic location, lush vegetation, historic villages, culinary specialties, and above all... exceptional wedding estates! Will you be tempted?
