Verteillac (Dordogne, France)
Verteillac is a rural market town in the Périgord Vert, appreciated for its calm setting and gentle way of life. The village retains a silhouette of stone houses and quiet streets, away from major tourist routes. There are local shops, services for residents and a seasonal local life marked by markets and rural events. The surrounding landscape alternates between fields, woods and small valleys, ideal for slow discovery.
Heritage and history
The centre of Verteillac features traditional Périgord buildings: stone facades, tiled roofs and some old religious buildings. Local history is read in the built environment and in the village layout rather than in large monuments. Old houses and agricultural outbuildings evoke the rural evolution of the region over the centuries.
Nature and landscapes

The atmosphere changes with the seasons, from spring blossoms to autumn colours.
