Auriac-du-Périgord, a village between Lascaux and Hautefort

Auriac-du-Périgord is a small village in Périgord Noir, nestled in the wooded hills between Montignac-Lascaux and Hautefort. The commune, which has a few hundred inhabitants, retains an authentic rural heritage: a Romanesque church, golden stone houses, and sunken lanes bordered by dry stone walls. The village is located near major tourist sites: the Lascaux cave, the Château de Hautefort, and the Vézère valley.

A friendly country car boot sale

The car boot sale of Auriac-du-Périgord is in keeping with its village: peaceful, authentic, and friendly. The refreshments and light meals offered by the Foyer rural allow visitors to spend a morning or a whole day hunting for treasures in a relaxed atmosphere. The pitch at €2 per linear meter encourages participation from local private exhibitors.

The Foyer rural, engine of associative life

The FRJEP of Auriac-du-Périgord is at the heart of the village's associative life. Beyond the car boot sale, the association organizes cultural, sporting, and festive events throughout the year that maintain social connections in this rural commune of Périgord Noir.
