Grand Périgueux Tourist Office - Sainte-Alvère Tourist Information Office Tourist Offices in Sainte Alvère

The region of Sainte-Alvère, historic stronghold of the Lostanges, constitutes the western tip of the Périgord Noir. It is a very hilly region whose most calcareous slopes are the area of the truffle. Until the 1960s, the region was a major producer of truffles. For almost 30 years, the Sainte-Alvère market has offered many buyers a quality truffle controlled by quality commissioners.

In order to enhance this rich heritage, an interpretation trail, accompanied by a permanent exhibition at the information office of the Tourist Office of the Grand Périgueux in Sainte-Alvère, was created and introduces the general public to the discovery of the "Black diamond".
