What's On in the Dordogne

In this part of the website we're trying to achieve a way to enable you to find out about coming events, whether cultural, in the form of art shows, music or dance performances , theatre , film or just social events. We were originally going to do a complete listing but since it was going to be a fulltime job just to keep it up to date we decided instead to provide you with links to the various websites that will tell you what's happening, and then adding what information we have about other events you may not otherwise get to hear about. If this isn't what you want, or if there's some event you want to promote, let us know . One of the problems in the Dordogne is the poor publicity given to a lot of events. We want to remedy that, but need your help! If you knew everything that was happening, and if you're prepared to drive, you could easily find something to do every night!
