DORDOGNE GEOGRAPHYĭordogne is a department of the Aquitaine region in the Southwest of France, within which we find the famous Perigord.

Truffles are a very specific type of edible mushrooms. The Black Perigord is famous for its truffles. And for a true experience, try the foie gras - a delicacy made from goose or duck liver! Among the most famous dishes, we find the Duck confit (confit de Canard) and the Magret de canard – breast from a specific breed of duck. Perigord is famous for its cuisine and a meal in an "auberge de campagne", local restaurant, is worth the visit! It is the goose grease used in most dishes that gives such a particular taste to the Perigord gastronomy.
