Ribérac is located within the Périgord Vert countryside. It is a delightfully varied destination. In town, be sure to wander the charming historic streets and soak up the café culture at one of the local bistros or wine bars, sample regional dishes, and discover the lively market—one of the largest in the Dordogne every Friday morning with fresh produce, cheese, honey products and arts and crafts.
History lovers will enjoy exploring the town’s heritage buildings like Église Notre-Dame and the Romanesque Collégiale de Notre Dame, while nature enthusiasts can take to the many walking and cycling routes through rolling hills and sunflower fields that radiate out from Ribérac.
Just a short drive away, you can go canoeing or paddleboarding on the peaceful Dronne River, relax at the sandy beaches of nearby lakes like La Jemaye, or even try activities from guided hikes to escape games and outdoor laser tag events during the summer season.
For a broader regional experience, day trips to pretty nearby villages such as Aubeterre-sur-Dronne or the historic town of Brantôme or Sarlat-la-Canéda offer beautiful scenery, riverside cafés, and more opportunities to explore classic Dordogne charm.
