In the Périgord (Dordogne) region, don't fail to see Brantôme and,
especially, Rocamadour, which is one of the true wonders of the world.
Also, if you have time, Domme and Sarlat-la-Canéda. If you are going to
be in Arles, it is only a relatively short distance to Aix-en-Provence,
another must-see. If you get to the coast, don't forget to sample
bourride, one of the greatest fish soups/stews imaginable, especially
when made with monkfish (lotte or baudroie). It is always spiced with
aïoli (very garlicky mayonnaise).
