Dordogne events: what’s on during your stay?

A village celebration, an exhibition or an evening of music can give a holiday its own story. Start around Monpazier, or choose one wider outing. These official calendars help you find what fits your dates and your group.

These are rolling official agendas, not a confirmed 2027 programme. If your dates are not listed, return nearer your stay or ask the organiser. Calendar pages may be in French.

How would you like to spend the day?

Keep the outing closer to the house

Start with Monpazier, Beaumont or Belvès. Choose one place, check its venue and leave room for an unhurried meal.

See these calendars
Plan a separate town or culture day

Choose a Bergerac, Eymet, Sarlat or Vézère outing around one main event. Compare the actual journey rather than trying to visit every area in one day.

Explore northern Dordogne

Compare a Périgueux or Périgord Vert day with your group’s appetite for travel. These calendars are for longer outings, not the immediate surroundings of the house.

Explore the neighbouring bastides

Villeréal and Cœur de Bastides are in Lot-et-Garonne, outside Dordogne. Check the commune named on each event.

Monpazier and nearby bastide outings

Begin with the area around the house; a shared tourism calendar can cover several towns.

Monpazier and Marsalès

Look for exhibitions, talks and community celebrations on Monpazier’s municipal agenda. Read each announcement for its actual venue.

Wider Dordogne days out

Eymet: L’Eden cultural programme

Across the Dordogne

Broaden the search by your dates, interests and destination. A department-wide result can be a substantial journey from Monpazier.

Turn an idea into a relaxed plan

Start with one area

Choose the main event, then check the journey from Marsalès and parking. Keep travel and return time in the day.

Use your actual dates

Search the official agenda for your stay. A usual market weekday and a dated festival are different things.

Confirm with the organiser

Recheck time, venue, language, admission, access and any booking or cancellation information before leaving. For your whole party, also confirm suitable ages, duration, spoken language and any required group reservation.

Leave room between the events

Use our seven- or fourteen-day planner to shape the rest of your stay, and the market guide for usual market days. Neither replaces an organiser’s current announcement.

Your own Dordogne base

Maison Sérénité is in Marsalès near Monpazier. Four bedrooms sleep eight, with a separate sofa-bed room for two more, gardens and a private seasonal pool. Enjoy quieter days here between chosen outings, then check house availability separately from event tickets.
