    Touch... ...the relatively smooth stone: it feels soft under your finger tips, its warm golden color (a hallmark of the Périgord Noir), betrays its' strength. The Périgord Noir stone, beautiful as it is, when used in construction protected man, his animals and harvested crops from the elements. Cut from local quarries or amassed from fields destined for cultivation, homes and structures meld harmoniously together with the natural environment.

Impressive, elegant, graphic, useful and timeless are all adjectives my eyes register as I scan the roof tops of the Périgord Noir. Hear... ...the breeze caressing branches of century old oaks, sparrows chirping to wake the world, a dog barks far away on another hill. It is early morning...hold your breath and you can listen to the details of tranquility...it is the resonant peace and quiet of nature. From morning until evening, the Périgord Noir offers thousands of hectares of wooded countryside to explore; leave behind city noise and exchange it for the infinite sounds of nature.
