Tips from the Community
In the old town of Bergerac, you can stroll leisurely through the narrow streets, sit in a café, eat ice cream and admire the diverse 17th-century architecture. I also found the modern murals in the city center particularly impressive. Another highlight is the lively weekly market around the Notre-Dame de Bergerac.

Bergerac is a name that might ring a few bells: Cyrano de Bergerac, the 17th-century musketeer and writer, never visited the town, but Bergerac has still adopted him and erected two statues in his honor.
