We can find strawberries in about 32 areas in the Dordogne.
The most famous is Vergt, the capital of the strawberry. Situated between Périgueux and Bergerac, in the heart of the strawberry growing area, it is a lovely little bastide built by the French in the 13th century.
Well-known as the heart of the local strawberry industry, Vergt houses the “Grand Marché du Cadran”, where most locally grown strawberries transit for national and international markets.
