***For your safety, we will only accept private groups (2 pers. minimum) during the COVID19 crisis (e.g : if you book for 2 pers., there won't be any other traveller with you)*** After a 20mn drive aboard our comfortable van, we will arrive in the Lost Valley also called the Machu Pichu of Perigord. This unique place was successively occupied by the man of Neandertal then by Cro Magnon who realized magnificent sculptures in a cave at the foot of the cliff (unfortunately closed for preservation). In Neolithic times, a troglodyte village was built in the rock shelters. This village was then used as a refuge during the Viking invasions in the 10th century. In the Middle Ages, a castle and several noble houses were built at the top of the cliff and then completely abandoned in the 16th century until the rediscovery of the place and its restoration (still in progress) by one of the descendants of the lord of the Middle Ages to the origin of the construction of the place. I will tell you the curse that strikes this place and we will have a little funny experience to understand the telluric energies used to orientate buildings.

***For your safety, we will only accept private groups (2 pers. minimum) during the COVID19 crisis (e.g : if you book for 2 pers., there won't be any other traveller with you)*** Live a unique experience off the beaten tracks and travel back in time to the Stone Age… After a 30mn drive from Sarlat in a comfortable van, we will reach a hidden gem : my favourite prehistoric painted cave. Before the guided tour of the cave (you will join a small group with the official guide of the cave), I will show you the different paleolithic technologies used to make a fire, to light up in a cave and to paint. This prehistoric cave is unique for several reasons : - this is an original painted cave (not a copy like Lascaux 4) with a beautiful geology (stalactites, stalagmites, columns..) - these are the oldest prehistoric paintings done by Cro-Magnon man in the area (30 000 years). You will discover black and red paintings of ice age animals (ibexes, mammoths, horses, megaceros ..) but also human representations which is very rare in paleolithic art. At least 2 travellers are required for this experience to take place in accordance with the french legislation.

Enjoy one-on-one tuition with your own personal chef and tutor, Ian Fisk, learning how to prepare and create authentic regional French dishes from locally sourced ingredients. Chef, Ian, owner and resident chef of Le Chèvrefeuille right in the heart of the Périgord Noir welcomes you to CookDordogne’s One Day Regional Cookery Course. This unique one-day cookery course kicks off with participants meeting each other over coffee in the beautiful salon at Le Chevrefuille. Then, the real food-fun begins with a visit led by chef Ian to a traditional Perigordian farmers market (either the market at Le Bugue or St Cyprien market ). After the market tour it’s straight into the kitchen at Le Chevrefeuille where you will experience a fun, hands-on day of preparing, cooking and tasting famous regional dishes such as confit of duck, cabecou, tapenade, regional veloutes, cepes, foie gras and oysters. The dishes change according to the season to make the most of locally grown, seasonal produce at its best. The course finishes between 4 and 5pm.. All participants receive a copy of recipes cooked on the course.

***For your safety, we will only accept private groups (2 pers. minimum) during the COVID19 crisis (e.g : if you book for 2 pers., there won't be any other traveller with you)*** After a 15mn drive from Sarlat in a comfortable van, we will reach a medieval gem : Beynac, the best preserved feodal castle of Perigord (in january : replaced by a guided tour of Castelnaud castle and warfare museum) During our private guided tour, I will make you discover the incredible defense system of this 12th century castle. We will visit the guard room, the apartments of the lord, the large hall where the banquets were held and then we will go up to the top of the keep to admire one of the most beautiful views of the region (don't forget your camera !) before ending our visit in the kitchen of the castle. On the way back to Sarlat, we will make a scenic drive along the Dordogne river with photo stops at La Roque Gageac, Castelnaud castle, Domme and Montfort. On the opposite bank of the Dordogne river, nestled at the foot of a cliff off the beaten track, I will show you an incredible place : the oldest catholic place of worship in the area dating from the Gallo-Roman era where a troglodytic chapel was built in a cave in the middle ages, a unique place in France.

Summer GOODIES GALORE. First I will take you to a distillery, you will learn everything about eaux de vies and taste something the Périgord is rightly famous for: green walnut wine. Next we visit the Sarlat market and see and taste why foie gras is so cherished. I’ll explain you all about the local delicacies, which ones to pick and what to do with them in your own kitchen. The local delicacies evolve all around duck, geese, walnuts, truffles and grapes and some cheese. You will not be able to resist to sample them! We will finish on more foie gras specialties and a sweet Monbazillac wine tasting. Food and wine pairings will be suggested! Other things to note Wear something comfortable (walking shoes and raincoat in case of bad weather) and a smile.
