About Dordogne

The Dordogne department roughly follows the shape of the historicPérigord, a former province and one of the primary battlegrounds during the Hundred Years' War.

They're thePérigord Vert(Green, in the north), thePérigord Blanc(White, in the north-east),Périgord Noir(Black, in the south-east) and thePérigord Pourpre(Purple, in the south-west).
