2022 06 03 FRANCE - BERGERAC

Situated in the purple Périgord, Bergerac, a historic town, invites you take the time to stroll through the narrow streets lined with half-timbered houses and the many mansions from another time.
In the centre of the town stands the church of Notre Dame which dates back to the 19th century and was built according to the original plans of Viollet le Duc. It is classified as a historical monument.
Even if the statue of Cyrano, emblem of the city, stands in Place Pélissière, the character seems never to have come to Bergerac, yet he became the most famous of the Bergeracois.
The character that Edmond Rostand Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac used to write his famous play is indeed from the Paris region, Bergerac being the name of a family residence in the Chevreuse valley in the Yvelines.
It was Edmond Rostand who made it become Gascon, thus associating the name of Cyrano with the town of Bergerac in the Dordogne. It must be acknowledged that this adoptive emissary has largely contributed to the reputation of the city.
