The Musée d’Anthropologie du Tabac, meanwhile, looks at the historical, social and cultural impact of tobacco and can be found in a stunning 17th Century building. The Musée Costi is one for art lovers and features 60 sculptures in bronze and plaster by Constantin Papachstopoulos.

If you hire a car during your stay, it’s also worth making the hour-and-a-half drive to Bordeaux, sitting 50 miles west of Bergerac on the coast. With a beach to enjoy and some of France’s most stunningly beautiful architecture which is guaranteed to take your breath away, making the trip to Bordeaux is definitely worth it; even if it’s just a day trip.
