History of Gourdon
People first lived in the surrounding caves 25 000 years ago. It was settled in the middle ages as a fortified city with an enormous chateau. During the 100-years war, it set up a strong resistance against the English, although they eventually won & destroyed the chateau that was never rebuilt. The cathedral however, did survive.
Gourdon is only 10 minutes away from our property, so we often visit for the Saturday market so that we can try some local produce and explore the medieval part of town.
