A 3-kilometre loop, a 4.1-kilometre route and at least 40 kilometres on a cycle route: Prigonrieux offers different distances for getting around. There are also exhibitions, storytelling sessions and wine tastings that require an appointment or reservation. When planning, you can first choose between a loop, a route and a longer trail, then add culture or wine as a focus of its own. For wine experiences that require a reservation, be sure to arrange this in advance.
Trails through hills and plains
The Sentier de Rosette runs through the hills of Prigonrieux. If you plan to follow it, check the route details before setting out. Another option is the Boucle de Claud de Bled, a 3-kilometre loop. Its circular layout sets it apart from the Peymilou–Centre-Ville route, which is 4.1 kilometres long and runs from the slopes down to the plain. This route can be used safely on foot or by bicycle; access conditions may change.
The Véloroute Voie Verte V91 runs for more than 40 kilometres from Prigonrieux to Mauzac. You can cover at least 40 kilometres on foot, by bicycle, on roller skates, by scooter or with a pushchair. The options therefore differ not only in length: the Boucle de Claud de Bled is a loop, Peymilou–Centre-Ville connects the slopes with the plain, and the V91 offers a longer route with several non-motorised ways to get around. Check the route details before setting off if you have a specific route in mind.
Exhibitions and events
The Médiathèque de Prigonrieux regularly organises exhibitions in a dedicated space. Occasional events, such as storytelling sessions, complement the programme. If you want to plan your visit around a particular exhibition or event, check the current dates, as the programme may change. This lets you include a cultural event in your plans without having to combine it with a hike or longer cycle route as part of a fixed day’s itinerary.
Wine tastings by appointment or reservation
The Combrillac winery offers guided tours with wine tasting by appointment only. So don’t plan this as a spontaneous stop; arrange the appointment before you travel. The selection includes seven wines: dry Bergerac wines, as well as rosé, red and Rosette wines. The winery uses organic practices; the wines are naturally fermented and made with little added sulphur.
DĂ©jeuner sauvage offers a different kind of wine tasting: it takes place by reservation in a permaculture vineyard garden and a wine forest. The experience may be seasonal or depend on the programme. When making your reservation, therefore, check whether it is planned for the time of your visit. The two options differ both in how far ahead you need to book and in the setting for the tasting.
Location on the Dordogne
Prigonrieux lies on the right bank of the Dordogne, downstream from Bergerac. An anchor recalls the former harbour on the Dordogne. This geographical setting and the reminder of the town’s former role as a harbour provide another point of interest for your stay, alongside the trails and wine experiences.
