esrea france

Dating back to the 11th century, Bergerac is one of the Aquitaine’s liveliest and most historic towns.

Set on the banks of the river Dordogne, Bergerac is at the heart of the local wine trade and welcomes tens of thousands of visitors every year.

Tourists love to stroll through the medieval backstreets, enjoying a leisurely coffee or browsing in one of the many boutiques. You can also take a trip down the river in an old ‘Gabare’ (goods’ barge) and there are two local museums to explore.

The region of Bergerac is famous for its vineyards, many of which are pleased to offer wine-tasting and tours. Domaine de Beauregard makes superb organic wines; please pop in and sample their lush Rosé and Merlot Reds:

Bergerac airport currently has regular flights to the UK, via Ryanair, FlyBe and Jet2 to Birmingham, Bristol, East Midlands, Leeds and London Stansted.
