In August the town of Bergerac <\/strong>celebrates the wines of the area with its wine fair (Les Vins de Bergerac en F\u00eate<\/em>) on 3 August 2019<\/strong><\/span> starting at 6.00 pm at the Port of Bergerac, with wine-tasting, wine-barrel making, food and music – see www.vins-bergeracduras.fr<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bergerac provides a wonderful combination of gentle countryside, picturesque old town and local, gourmet specialities.
\nThe Dordogne, one of the most beautiful rivers of France, winds it way through Bergerac and was once of enormous importance to the region\u2019s economy; it now plays a vital role in local tourism (gabare excursions, fishing, walks along its banks etc.).
\nMagnificent flower beds adorn the town of Bergerac (which won \u2018four flowers\u2019 at the Best Decorated Towns and Villages competition) but, far from being simply a pretty \u2018picture\u2019 town, Bergerac lives and thrives thanks to its legendary local gastronomy, regional wines, multitude of activities, flourishing markets, antique fairs and pedestrian walkways.
\nThe renovated old town has been restored to its former beauty and a pleasurable afternoon can be spent simply strolling its streets and relaxing in its shady squares while admiring the museums and restored buildings.
\nBergerac\u2019s heritage has been carefully preserved and all renovation carried out with great attention to architectural style:
\nIn the heart of the old town, in the Peyrar\u00e8de House, the Museum of Tobacco recounts the social and cultural history of tobacco and of civilisations through the ages.
\nIn a brick and timber frame house on the Place de la Myrpe, the Wine and River Transport Museum retraces the tale of a once-flourishing river trade and Bergerac\u2019s river heritage, and of the evolution of wine and the vineyard.
\nThe heart of the old town is formed around the Place de la Myrpe, bordered with delightful timber frame houses, the Place P\u00e9lissi\u00e8re, towered over by St Jacques\u2019 Church – a halt on the St Jacques de Compostelle pilgrimage road -and the R\u00e9collects Cloisters, now used by Bergerac\u2019s \u2018Maison des Vins\u2019, as a wine showroom.<\/span><\/em>www.pays-de-bergerac.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
