Riberac is in the Dronne valley of northern Dordogne. 

Riberac is at its best on a Friday, market day for reputedly the biggest market in Perigord. At most other times it is pleasant but fairly quiet.

Walking uphill form the Place National which is at the centre of the town, the road meanders towards the Eglise Notre-Dame. This is a fairly new church (1930s) but has been built in the romano-byzantine style reminiscent of the nearby cathedral of Perigeux. It is quite striking with its multiple domes and separate tower.

Keep walking up the hill and you reach the older church, the 12th century Collegiale Notre-Dame. This is one of the many Romanesque churches which dot the landscape in this area. From here you can also get some nice views of Riberac and the surrounding countryside.

On the other side of Riberac is perhaps the most impressive building in the town, a lovely residence built in the 19th century and now the Hotel de Ville. The Palais de Justice and the Office du Tourisme are also impressive buildings in the town.

There are two main attractions near Riberac - the large forest (the 'Foret de la Double') and lots and lots of Romanesque churches in the surrounding villages.

Riberac makes a very good base for exploring this northern part of the Dordogne - perhaps the best is Lusignac, a pretty little village with good views, a nice medieval church and a chateau, or Aubeterre sur Dronne which has a magnificent underground church carved into the rock and is one of the ‘most beautiful villages of France’.
