HUNTING IN FRANCE Hunting in the Dordogne & Périgord regions Upper Dordogne - Quercy -
Corrèze - The Périgord is one
of the most pleasant touristic regions of France. We are widely using
this area during the fly fishing season, but autumn and winter are
really worth the visit also. Wild-boar and woodcock days are designed
for 1 or 2 hunters. Partridge and pheasant rough shooting days can be
organized for small groups.

Touring in the Périgord
The Périgord is a region that each francophile should have visited at least one time. After this first visit, many of the foreign visitors have purchased a holiday house. There is a special douceur de vivre in the Périgord found nowhere else. Each site is an enchantment, and the food is gorgeous. Our hunting spots are situated between the nicest towns on the bank of the Dordogne. In the backcountry nearby are found Sarlat, Collonges la rouge and Lascaux. You can click here to open a very interesting website about the caves of Lascaux.
Landscapes The Dordogne is a big scenic
river. Each town is a jewel. The valley is bordered by meadows and
century old walnut orchards, and surrounded by rocky wooded hills. The
climate is dry and warm. La gastronomie du Périgord starring locally produced foie gras, truffles and Monbazillac, is a major contributor to the worldwide reputation of the French cuisine. In the fall and winter wild mushrooms and game are widely present on the tables. |
