Thiviers is an active town in the northern Dordogne.

On the turning point between the deeply valleyed landscape to the north of Thiviers, and the more gently rolling countryside found to the south, it is a good base for exploring this northern part of the Dordogne region.

Thiviers prides itself especially on its local speciality, foie gras, and the other regional produce such as walnuts and truffles. Indeed the town has designated itself 'Capital of the foie gras in Green Perigord'. To learn more about foie-gras you can visit the museum in the town that is dedicated to its production. Saturday morning is market day in Thiviers and that is the best time to see a wide selection of the local produce and specialities.

Foie gras aside, it is the old part of the town near the church that is most interesting for visitors. Don't miss the devilish carvings on the columns in the church.

The town has an important history of producing pottery (faience) and there is a museum dedicated to the story of the production.

The region around Thiviers contains attractive countryside, and there are many marked walks to follow, also horse-riding at Lempzours and canoeing (at Corgnac sur l'Isle). There is a long path/cycle route towards St Pardoux-la-Riviere. The lake at Nantheuil is popular with sunbathers and swimmers (also for fishing).

While at Thiviers don't miss the nearby village of St-Jean-de-Cole. Found 7 km to the west of the town it is an attractive village with a stone bridge over the river, and a well preserved old centre with a covered market and a church.

Note: Chateau de Jumilhac is 20km north-east of Thiviers
