Take Me Back To Bergerac
Cyrano de Bergerac was a French author and soldier who lived
between 1619- 1655
The famous play “Cyrano de Bergerac” 1897 was written by Edmond
Rostand.
Bergerac is a charming little provincial town in Perigord Region
and is located some 89km east of hustling Bordeaux. On the back
of the Dordogne river, the old bridge that crosses the river is
an artist’s dream and the town’s people are relax and friendly.
It is therefore not surprising that the wine maker of Bergerac
have adopted Edmond Rostand’s swaggering hero, The count of
Bergerac, famed for his large nose, as their symbol. Everywhere
you go in the region, you will see poster that show the fancily
dressed gentlemen with the probiscus, along with the slogan “Un
Vin qui a du Nez” which roughly translated means “A Wine with a
Good Nose”.
Bergerac is the home of both good food and pleasant wines. It is
the centre of truffle and foie gras production.
It is also the birth place of two very important persons:
“Cyrano de Bergerac” and the chef-owner – “Jean-Francois”
“On est savant quand on boit bien qui ne boit pas ne sait rien”
“One is learned when one drinks well, one who does not, knows
nothing” Boileau.
