Joy Law's intimate account of Dordogne is the fruit of nearly forty years of living in and exploring the province. Whether she's taking the reader to some unexpected architectural treasure or singing the praises of the fabulous gastronomy of Dordogne - the home of truffles, foie gras, walnut oil and other legendary pleasures - her enthusiasm is always infectious.

Designed to be savoured at leisure before, during or after a holiday, this guide also has some of the most comprehensive information on all aspects of Dordogne available anywhere, together with a gazetteer, specially drawn maps and full index to make it indispensable on the road.
