Before we bought our holiday home in the Dordogne, we looked in other areas of this region. One of these was the area around Brantôme known as the Green Périgord.

This area gets its name from the lush landscape full of forests, rivers and green meadows. It is totally different from the areas further south and well worth a visit (perhaps on your way into the region).

We stayed at “Le Moulin du Roc” which is located just outside the town of Brantôme and is simply gorgeous. Here’s a few photos from our trip to this area:
