Hotel Regina The Originals City

Large and majestic, the cathedral of Périgueux is impressive. Although the original building dates back to the 4th century, the current building was created by the architect Paul Abadie, who later designed the Sacré-Coeur basilica in Paris. For an unforgettable experience, opt for a visit to the roofs, from where you can admire the 17 bell towers that rise to the sky, not to mention a panoramic view of the city.  

A 13th century medieval fortress with a high keep (32 m) on one side and an elegant Renaissance dwelling on the other, Bourdeilles castle houses an impressive collection of furniture. Immerse yourself in history by taking part in family discovery workshops (making a medieval drink, creating a seal or coat of arms, introduction to calligraphy) or during dramatised night-time visits. 

Less well known than its close cousin (Lascaux), the Villars cave conceals many treasures. In addition to its incredible natural decoration (calcite flows, fine stalactites, gours, translucent draperies, stalagmites...), the cave has one of the largest underground networks in the Périgord, of which nearly 13 km have been explored to date. Other wonders are its original prehistoric paintings where you can see ibexes, bisons and rare human representations.  

This 1.6 km loop trail will delight all walkers, both beginners and experienced. Running alongside the Auvezère river, the walk offers a lively landscape of waterfalls and whirlpools tumbling over the rocks. For the sporty, kayaking down the river is possible!
