Journées Européennes du Patrimoine | Visites guidées du barrage de Tuilières
As part of the European Heritage Days, EDF and the MIGADO association (Migrateurs Garonne Dordogne Charente Seudre) are offering two 2-hour outdoor tours of the Tuilières hydroelectric site (RDV parking de l?espace EDF de Tuilières).
This tour will enable you to discover the history of this site, the operation of the hydroelectric dam and the Dordogne?s emblematic species, the salmon! Take a stroll along the canal, admire the lock staircase with its fantastic view downstream, watch the fish in the fish elevator and then enjoy the MIGADO “salmon” exhibition from a vantage point overlooking the dam.
BOOKING ESSENTIAL. Minimum age 8. Closed shoes required.

Planning your stay around local events
There is always something happening around Le Petit Capelier. Issigeac’s famous Sunday market takes over the medieval village every week, while Bergerac, Eymet, Villeréal and Castillonnès host regular markets, brocantes, concerts, exhibitions and festivals throughout the year.
During the summer, look out for marchés gourmands and village fêtes, where long communal tables, local food, Bergerac wines and live music make for wonderfully relaxed evenings. The vineyards around Monbazillac and Bergerac also host tastings, concerts and special events throughout the season.
We update this calendar regularly as new events are announced, including some of the smaller local happenings that can be surprisingly difficult to discover online.
