Michelin Green Guide Dordogne Berry LimousinFrom the Michelin Green Guides series. Berry, with its splendid cathedral of Bourges, was the historic heart of the Capetian monarchy, while Périgord and Quercy, in their cookery and local accent, begin to merge with the southern regions of France. The rural tradition is kept alive in the love of fine fresh produce: nuts, duck and goose dishes, truffles, fruits and wines. The exceptional prehistoric sites testify to centuries of human habitation. Today, some of the most charming villages of France are found here, and many more grandiose and spectacular sites too, such as the castles dominating the opulent valley of the Dordogne and the many caves with their fantastic rock formations. Men have created wonders too, such as the Aubusson tapestries and the porcelain and enamels of Limoges. Popular music is celebrated every spring at the Bourges festival, and contemporary art holds pride of place at the Lac de Vassivière. The Brenne wetlands, the Millevaches plateau and the Creuse Valley, immortalised by the impressionist school of Crozan, provide romantic and unspoiled natural settings for your travels.
