Blog – Local life & holidays in the Dordogne
Here, in the heart of the Périgord Pourpre, every season tells a story.
The story of bustling markets at dawn, of walks between vineyards and castles, of craftsmen who perpetuate the skills of yesteryear, of simple, generous recipes… and also, a little of our own, that of La Petite Auberge, nestling in a peaceful village, surrounded by nature and history.
In this blog, we share our daily lives in the Dordogne with you: ideas for walks, portraits of local craftspeople, forgotten legends, family recipes, highlights from the life of the gîtes… all a nod to the region we love so dearly.
Take your time, explore, and if you feel like it, make it more real…
