Women of the Dordogne

A glimpse of famous women from the Dordogne valley, past and present. Starting with the inspiration for Coco Chanel’s logo and the home of writer Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, the video spans a whole world of female chefs, castle owners, architects, singers, authors, dancers and potters, as well as one lady who restores stained glass and another whose family business creates liquor from walnuts.
