Sample the Local Cuisine on a Holiday to Dordogne

If you love nothing more than sampling new foods, tasting wines and seeking out the best local eating establishments then a trip to Dordogne in France should be high on your list of priorities. Many of the Gites Haute Savoie (gites haute savoie in French) in Dordogne is located in or near villages, most of which will host weekly markets where you can pick up a wide range of fresh, local ingredients to use in your cooking.

Renowned for the distinctly French style of its food, the area is a great place to start if you want a taste of rustic cuisine from the country. You can seek out the small family-run establishments which offer wonderful wines as well as a rural charm that you can't beat. You will no doubt want to purchase some wine to wash it all down - it is France after all!

During the course of a week-long stay in a cottage group (gite de groupe in French) in Dordogne you can sample everything from haute cuisine to rustic dishes prepared in the local restaurants. So you can pick your favorite local specialties before heading back to your cottage and cooking up a storm in the kitchen. Located in the south-west of France, Dordogne is full of small villages and towns, each offering new eating experiences.
