Travel guide
Understand
One of its main tourist attractions, and therefore its main income, is its choice of wine and tobacco.
In the medieval town square stands a statue of Cyrano de Bergerac, a fictional character created by playwright Edmond Rostand who was based on a 17th-century novelist and playwright from the north of France who never set foot in the town. It is one of two statues of the fictional character.
Do
Take a stroll along the historic Dordogne river to view the shimmering waters -- motorboats are not allowed, and tourists may kayak and canoe there in the warmer months.
Buy
The traditional market is held around Notre Dame Church and outside the covered market on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
