| Vézac, this little village of 600 inhabitants lies in the heart of the Dordogne valley, 9 kms south of Sarlat.  Its unique situation offers fine views of several châteaux in the immediate vicinity, such as Castelnaud, Fayrac, Beynac and Marqueyssac. The last-named, classed as a listed site, comprises an 18th-century residence and a splendid park planted with box-trees, all carefully trimmed by hand, which also boasts “The Dordogne Belvedere”, perched 130 metres above the river.

The commune has always been devoted to agriculture - nowadays, tobacco, walnuts, maize and poultry - but is also home to various craftsmen and high-quality food factories, as well as providing for holiday activities... Which is why, instead of making Vézac just a staging-post, many people on walking tours decide to stop there for the rest of their stay.  |
