Faux is an ideal starting point to visit the region. In the heart of the "Purple Périgord" the village is located 3 km from the castle of Lanquais and its barrier lake, 7 km from the medieval town of Issigeac, less than 20 km from the English and French castles and bastides from the time of Alienor d'Aquitaine (12th century), 40 km from Les Eyzies, the French capital of prehistory.
The name "Purple Périgord" will also remind you of the Autumn coulour of the Bergerac wineyards and of its most famous wines : Pécharmant and Monbazillac.
For those fond of good living, many restaurants offer the opportunity to taste the Périgord cuisine where truffles appear in good place. In the Maison du Dolmen, you may visit its truffle bed and even its dolmen.
The possible sporting activities are many and various : a horse riding club in Faux, but also 3 golf courses within 20 km, a barrier lake for rowing on the Dordogne river, tennis, cycling and walking.
