One of the best things about this time of year is the many exciting events that can be enjoyed in the Dordogne region.
In Lalinde, right outside the Chateau Lalinde front door, on the village square, we have had the pleasure for 9 years now, to welcome traditional Perigordine musicians and dancers. The music is Celtic in nature with similar musical insgtruments as one would find in Ireland and Brittany.
