To the north, this area is aptly named. Indeed included in the Natural Park Regional Périgord-Limousin, the Nontron region and the Dronne valley offer a landscape of trees and meadows crossed by a myriad of rivers and streams.
It is also the least known to tourists. Yet, interesting places are worth visiting such as Brantôme, the « Venice of the Périgord » or Bourdeilles and Mareuil castles, two of the ancient Périgord’s four baronies.
