The wonderfully preserved mediaeval town of Sarlat is its capital. Périgord Noir: On the extreme eastern border of the region, the Black Périgord is named after its dark oak tree forests. There is something for every cycling ability, from flats to hills and rollers, and more. It’s divided into four areas: Noir (Black), Black, Vert (Green), Blanc (White) and Pourpre (Purple). It’s one of France’s largest departments, yet has a sparse population of approximately 410,000. The region gets its name from the Dordogne River that runs through it. Picture southwestern France between the Loire Valley and the Pyrenees. The Dordogne Region, also known as the Périgord, is in France’s Nouvelle-Aquitaine department. Let me share why I think the Dordogne Region of France is one of cycling’s hidden gems. I was impressed, and left wondering why it’s not a destination that travels in cycling circles? It should be.
It’s my job as a cycling guide that brought me there. The Dordogne was right under my nose, yet never heard a peep about it.
