Your experience
Stop 1
The statue, strange to say the least, you see at the corner of Rue du port and quai Salvette, is called “Total disillusionment”! Exhibited in Paris and Rio, it was finally Bergerac who acquired it and installed it on its streets.
Stop 2
Can't pass by, this is the Cyrano Wharf. This newly created ensemble mixes culture, wine and tourism in a dedicated space of 150 m2. You will find here the Tourist Office, but also upstairs the Wine House, which will present its grape varieties and its best bottles.
Stop 3
Half-timbered house, painted shutters, flower beds and statue of Cyrano, it's like a painting! Place de la Myrpe, in the shade of chestnut trees, is the perfect place to stop and take the time to look at what is around us.
Stop 4
Watching its long blue ribbon flow past you, you understand why the Dordogne gave its name to the whole department. She is the true Rising Star of the region.
Stop 5
You are on the old port of Bergerac. The gabarres are typical river boats of several regions of the Atlantic basin, such as the Loire, Charente, Dordogne and Garonne. All these boats have the particularity of having a flat bottom that allows them to support a maximum load with a low water flow.
Stop 6
This is a nice view of the Bergerac bridge. The first real bridge in the city was built in the 1200s. It was a bridge made of vaults and wood, repaired many times after the damage of major floods, but which still lasted 6 centuries!
Stop 7
In the world’s big and small capitals, bridges always offer beautiful views of the surroundings. From here, you can observe the cobblestone docks of the old port of Bergerac surrounded by the city center on one side, and on the other, the wild banks of the Dordogne.
Stop 8
Now that we are on the right bank, we might as well go see this strange church of the Madeleine. This neoclassical Catholic church was built in 1843.
Stop 9
Here you are, facing a complex of buildings called the House of Henry IV, which has no relation to the King of France. Today you have here the entrance to the Tobacco Museum.
Stop 10
Here you are, in front of Bergerac City Inn. In 1254, Bergerac obtained its communal autonomy. His new municipality then sits in a building on Place Malbec that no longer exists today.
Stop 11
Here is the Church of Our Lady of Bergerac. It is the main Catholic church in the city. Built between 1856 and 1865, it is more recent than its older sisters in other cities of France. In the mid-19th century, Catholicism saw a revival of interest and the parish priest of Saint James’ Church, Justin Macerouze, absolutely wanted a new parish in small cathedral mode.
Stop 12
As you pass by the Rue du Dragon, I can not fail to tell you the legend of the Coulobre de Bergerac! Let’s dive back into time immemorial, in the village of Lalinde on the banks of the Dordogne near Bergerac.
