Foie gras, black truffles, duck confit and Périgord walnuts feature heavily on local menus, and good local wine is never hard to find alongside them. Your walk notes will include insider tips on where to find the freshest baguettes, where to taste local oil and wine, and recommendations for restaurants worth seeking out.
