Dordogne Design, putting Dordogne on the web.

We specialize in web sites for the Dordogne region. We know how extremely difficult it is to get your name or business onto the search engines. We do not just design web sites, we help you get your site seen by potential customers from around the world.

Designing a web site is the easiest part, getting people to find your site amongst the more than 92 Billion!! (indexed by google in 2006) sites can be tricky and very expensive.
I have designed more than 20 Dordogne related sites to help advertise your web site after it has been launched.

Let Dordogne Design put you on the web, can you afford not to?

Here are some stats that show the importance of a web site:

Key facts and figures from 1 March 2007

  • Over 3.1 million tourists
  • Average length of stay (all accommodation): 10 days
  • Representing almost 31 million nights’ accommodation
  • A direct turnover of at least 980 million euros
  • Over 6,000 permanent jobs in tourism (6900 in July & Aug.)
  • Tourism in the Dordogne represents over 31% of the local economy

More facts and figures.

  • 77% booked part of their vacation online. (airline, ferry, rental car etc)
  • 93% of visitors researched the area online before visiting.
  • 71 % of visitors booked accommodation online

5 years ago, these figures would have all been below 30%, and 10 years ago they would have all been below 3%, however, in 3 year time they will ALL be above 90%

These figures show the importance of a web site, and no one can design, host, advertize and optimize your dordogne related site better than Dordogne Design .

Explore the Vezere Valley

February 24, 2008

The Vezere Valley
The Vezere Valley in the hart of the “Perigord Noir” in the Dordogne, is named after the River that cuts through it

In and around the town of Les Eyzies-de-Tayac are a series of prehistoric rock dwellings, the caves include some of the most significant archaeological finds of the Upper Paleolithic (from about 40,000 to10,000 years ago) and Middle Paleolithic (200,000 to 40,000 years ago) periods they are especially noted for their extensive wall drawings.Situated in the Vézère Valley the Les Eyzies de Tayac caves are among a series of decorated grottoes in the area that were collectively designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979.

The Vézère valley contains 147 prehistoric sites dating from the Paleolithic and 25 decorated caves. It is particularly interesting from an ethnological and anthropological, as well as an aesthetic point of view because of its cave paintings, especially those of the Lascaux Cave, whose discovery in 1940 was of great importance for the history of prehistoric art.

The Vezere Valley is also home to the National Prehistoric Museum, Font de Gaume, Combereilles, Cro Magnon Shelter, The Grand Roc and many, many more sites of interest.
