Features: In Dordogne, France, time seems to stand still. Wandering through this land, one might lose oneself in the infinitely beautiful pastoral scenery. Today, the townspeople still live as they did in the time of France's greatest prose writer, Montaigne—"listening to brass music, eating goose liver," savoring the rich flavors of a long and storied past in the comfort of modern life. This book features 39 classic Dordogne towns, each offering unexpected surprises and taking you on a memorable journey. The four-colored Dordogne towns, like brilliant pearls, are scattered across the ancient land through which the Dordogne River flows: green reminds one of the lush grasslands and woods in the northern crescent-shaped region; white represents the limestone valleys in the central area; purple symbolizes the aromatic, full-bodied red wines produced around Bergerac; and black is a specialty of the southeastern region, the indispensable "black diamond" of French cuisine—truffles. This book carefully selects and introduces 39 of the most classic Dordogne towns to Chinese visitors, each town embodying its unique geographical, historical, and cultural diversity. The gentle and melancholic Dordogne River can touch the hearts of visitors heading to France. Its beautiful, pure, and well-preserved rural landscapes, along with the region's renowned cuisine—goose liver and truffles—will linger long in people's hearts.
