Quaint Charms of Bergerac

This is simply a warning of a potential tourist trap: Bergerac has no connection with Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac. So, if you're doing a literary tour of France. . .or if you're a fan of Rostand and are hoping to find a museum in his honour, you'll be sorely disappointed.

Unique Suggestions: The real life Savinien de Cyrano, on whom the character was loosely based, took "de Bergerac" as part of his airs. The town has happily adopted him as a lost son. . .but truthfully the statue in la Place de la Mirpe is the only sign of Cyrano to be seen.

Fun Alternatives: Enjoy the town for what it is. . .a lovely place filled with neat architecture, a couple of good museums and a number of beautiful squares in which to sit and relax.
