4 years, the General Council of the Dordogne organizes
Perigord
to
Montmartre

A strong link exists between this area of Paris and the capital of Perigord.
Indeed, the architect Paul Abadie worked on the restoration of Saint-Front de Périgueux
and won the competition for the design of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Montmartre in Paris,
whose construction was completed in 1914, however, long after his death in 1884.

You can see the similarity of the architecture is striking, particularly in
the use of Eastern-type domes.



I offer you the opportunity to travel a few items from my library
for a new virtual tour
following my first article

Discovering Perigord



The r isit you to Montmartre is an opportunity for discover and enjoy
all the specialties of this beautiful region of southwest France.
Local produce as
the foie gras, walnuts, chestnuts, cabécou, strawberries, truffles, wines of Bergerac ...
are many pleasures that we like to share in the Perigord.

like terroir and tradition.
and this feast, the Félibrée is conducted annually in a different city of the Perigord.

The Richer fiddle (sometimes called "viièle", "old", "old" or "violate")
is a musical instrument strings and bow of the Middle Ages.
This instrument is widely used in folk groups Perigord.
The party was in full swing under a beautiful summer sun, but
calm has returned very late at night, when the city
was asleep in his paper flowers.
That's when I took her exclusive photos you will find nowhere else.
and I met in the slideshow below
