pfsmalo Says: Once again, in the evening sun, it was beautiful and warm as we strolled around searching for a bite to eat. We wandered quite a bit as the season hasn't started yet, but found the streets around our b&b were the nicest. The historic old quarter is not that big and can be...
Sit outside on Place de la Myrpe.
pfsmalo Says: We sat out on the square in the evening sun whilst waiting for the owner. It really was beautiful, calm, no cars moving about, so very peaceful. Practically all the houses here date from the 16th c with half-timbered "bricou" frontages. A couple on the north side of the...
Recollets Convent (Maison des vins).
pfsmalo Says: This converted convent was built between the 12th and 17th centuries and used by the "Recollets" order of Franciscans. It was used afterwards as a Protestant temple (now rehoused in the adjacent building). Now turned into the Wine museum of Bergerac it still retains a...
yorkshirebella Says: There are a number of places to pick up a kayak, Beynac is just one of them and you get a choice of how many how long a journey you want to do.We chose a 15K trip which was great. The views are just breathtaking.You wont be alone there are hundreds of people messing about on...
ettenaj Says: We found a couple of parks in Bergerac one was a good half an hours walk from the town centre but was worth the time just to sit by the pond and listen to the frogs, they where amazing, I have never heard such noisy little chaps in my life.
ettenaj Says: This sounds really baoring, but it was not , in fact it is really interesting. A must if the weather is bad as you can spend quite a long time there, over the three floors. Many artifacts, even some cigarette boxes that I remember from when I was younger!!!!
ettenaj Says: Both recreational and educational, this aquarium has 3000000 litres of water where in natural light you can watch 6000 plus fish. With more than 30 pools you make a voyage through 5 covered visiting areas. Outside there is a shop and a bar "Croc - o - Grill" and mini golf,...
ettenaj Says: When in Bergerac you must take a trip on the river, it lasts about 1 hour, and if you do not speak French you are given a book in English to translate what the skipper is saying! Whilst on the trip you pass a area where many birds nest, we saw quite a few kites soaring over...

We came across the Blanche Hermione while wandering through the vielle ville (old town) of Bergerac, but I remembered the name from the Rough Guide. It is superb ~ a cozy, intimate atmosphere, very welcoming and attentive waiter/owner, and terrific food at decent prices.
Favorite Dish: We had salads and a Middle Eastern plate with hummous, tzaziki and pitas. We shared a sweet Monbazillac wine. . .everything was delicious. It was pretty inexpensive and light food (especially compared to the cream-heavy dishes that are the norm).

Address: Place du Marche-Couvert
ettenaj Says: Bergerac has its own train station that is easy to find just down from the main road on Rue de Regiment D'infanterie, also the main bus staions stand in front of the train staion, so if there is no train going to the place you want to go to , try a bus!!!
ettenaj Says: Fly from Liverpool to Bergerac with Ryan Air ,flight time approx 1.45, we did it for £50 return per person. No frills no fuss airline but does the job just as well as any other. 10/10 highly recommened
ettenaj Says: We had a taxi from the airport which took only minutes to arrive, then wiisked us away to the hotel. Approximate journey time was 8 - 10 mins and the cost was 12 euro, very good service, and you dont get ripped off!
Canadienne Says: Arts Terres is a fantastic little shop owned and run by two potters ~ Caroline Vernet and Luis Jeronimo. One portion of the store is devoted to their works (for sale and some for display); another portion is available for workshops for both adults and children.Different...
Miscellaneous: Foie Gras & Fine Wines
Canadienne Says: If you're interested in foie gras, there are a few specialty shops around Bergerac's vielle ville. In Sarlat, there was a harder sell in the stores, so this is a nice compromise (but I wasn't interested either way ~ it's not to my tastes).The Bergerac wines are also...

Sorry about the spelling not to sure if I am right or not.............. anyway we spent a couple of hours sat watching the local men in the park playing their national game, very much the same as the English game of Bowls but slightly different, both played with extreme earnest.
If you look closely at the picture you can see where the trees have been worn away at the base of the trunks by constants hitting from the "bowls"

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.

ettenaj Says: Anothe day trip from Bergerac In this park you will find reconstructions of prehistoric man's life in the actual places he lived. You go though caves and underground passages which were used as refuges from the prehistoric times. Then right on the cliff you come to the...
ettenaj Says: Day trip from Bergerac, the Villars Grotto was discovered in 1953 by the Perigueux potholers club. It is the largest underground network in the Perigord, with more than 13kms explored to this day. The undeground river has hollowrd out huge chambers connected by huge...
ettenaj Says: I must admit we really enjoyed a walk along the banks of the river, this particular day there were many canoes on the water as there is a canoe club in Bergerac it seemed as if they were under instruction or training. If you head downstream away from the bridge you...
Canadienne Says: The first afternoon that we spent wandering around Bergerac's vielle ville, we got so caught up in noticing the little architectural details, that the camera slipped my mind entirely. It's always nice to have a break from composing shots. . .but on the second day I felt the...
