Situated in the heart of south-west France, the Dordogne is redolent with spectacular sites.
Semitour Périgord, the département’s largest tourism company, is intrinsically involved in the economic development of the region through the management of its famous cultural sites which present, to a certain degree, the face of the Dordogne.
Semitour Périgord is a reference in the field of innovative tourism.
The company considers it to be its duty to transmit, conserve and promote in a sustainable fashion the different sites which it manages, allowing everybody full enjoyment of the département’s cultural and heritage wealth.
With the aim of developing tourist numbers and optimising economic results while, at the same time, respecting the fundamental principles of a public service, the Conseil Départemental de la Dordogne decided, further to deliberation N°: 97184 of 24 January 1997, to create a semi-public, local company to manage tourism which would gradually take over the role of the Régie Départementale du Tourisme.
