Périgord

Périgord (UK: PERR-ig-or, US: -⁠OR; French: [peʁiɡɔʁ] ; Occitan: Peiregòrd [pejɾeˈɣɔɾ(t)] or Perigòrd [peɾiˈɣɔɾ(t)]) is a natural region and former province of France, which corresponds roughly to the current Dordogne department, now forming the northern part of the administrative region of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. It is divided into four areas called the Périgord Noir (Black), named so for the truffles that can be found there, the Périgord Blanc (White), for chalk cliffs and quarries, the Périgord Vert (Green), for forests and forestry, and the Périgord Pourpre (Purple), for wine and viticulture.
