Most Beautiful Villages of the Dordogne
Walk through a land of pure enchantment in this tour of a particularly lovely part of France, the southwestern area called the Dordogne, from the river that flows through it. (The region is also known as the Perigord.) Experienced travel writer Bentley and outstanding photographer Palmer (partnered in the previous title in the series,Most Beautiful Villages of Tuscany) guide the reader from one charming, beautiful village to another. In large-format display, Palmer captures particularly evocative scenes, and in buoyant text, Bentley describes the physical appearance of each place and discusses local cuisine and the dramatic history in which the region is steeped. Readers will find it difficult to remain armchair-bound once they have savored these luscious pages!Brad Hooper
