Gay life in the Perigord can be found in clubs in Bergerac, Perigueux, Brive, and of course in Bordeaux. The Dordogne has a very large gay community, so much so that we have added to the traditional areas of the region--Perigord Noir, Perigord Poupre, Perigord Blanc, Perigord Vert--the appelation Le Perigord Rose to describe the community of gay people who vacation, live, and operate businesses in the Perigord.
Things to Do in the Historic Perigord
La Millasserie is located in the uplands above the River Dordogne that gives the region its name. At La Millasserie you can begin the day with a French country breakfast, take a morning dip in the pool, and then take a walk along miles of picturesque country roads, or by car explore some of the most beautiful countryside and charming villages in all France, including Saint-Leon-sur-Vezere, Urval, Molieres, La Roque-Gageac. The region abounds in ancient castles and churches, gardens open to the public, villages that time forgot. Take a trip to the great 11th century of Chateau de Beynac or to any of the more than 1000 chateaux in the region. The restored old quarters of its larger cities, Sarlat, Périgueux, and Bergerac, display a thousand years of architecture.
The Perigord has a wealth of museums and cultural events, inlcuding an amazingly large number of classical and popular music concerts, as well as film festivals, outdoor antiques shows, sporting events and food and crafts festivals. All manner of sports are available including hiking, canoeing, golf, horseback riding, and cycling.
The Perigord is known as the cradle of gastronomy, so after a trip to the Lascaux caves, lunch at almost any village bistro for a Perigordine meal, or dine at some of the region's Michelin starred restaurants. We can recommend and will make reservations for you at any of the several excellent restaurants within a few minutes drive from La Millassreie, including two fine gay owned establishments. Spend the afternoon wine-tasting in the great wineries of the area or have a glass of wine at a bistro next to the river or with your meal at night. Or just come back to La Millasserie, bring a bottle of wine, and take the sun on your terrace or by the pool.
