Bernardette Biato and Marina Huot, ex managers of the
restaurant ‘Le Bataclan’ at Bergerac airport, sent out a
press release, detailing what they suggest may be
harassment by the CCI Dordogne, represented by Monsieur
J-P Conte. This follows the libel case which was heard in
July, brought against them by Mr Conte.

ABOVE; one of a kind Roger Constant points the way to his discovery. Below; the human skeleton found at Régordou and on display at the museum in Périgueux.
Lascaux cave is famous
worldwide, its
neighbour Régourdou
somewhat less so. The
history of Régourdou is
fascinating though, and the
Musée d’art et d’archéologie
du Périgord in Périgueux has
chosen to mark the site’s
50th anniversary with an
exhibition of the remains and
artefacts found there, and a
homage to its remarkable
discoverer, Roger Constant.
It is the first time that an
exhibition has regrouped all
the prehistoric finds
alongside Monsieur
Constant’s press-cuttings and
memorabilia under one roof,
and the result is fascinating.

One man’s dream to turn the derelict brickworks at Tourtoirac into a centre for
underprivileged and handicapped children is being frustrated at every turn.
Andy Kay gets the story.
Alain and Christiane
Goldschmid arrived in
the Dordogne in 2002. Their
daughter breeds horses and
was looking for a place to
establish a sizeable stables.
Alain had recently retired
from his work as an
administrator for a big
multinational company and
wanted to achieve a
philanthropic dream: to
establish a centre for underprivileged
and
handicapped children.
The site they found was
the family-run brick and tile
factory at Tourtoirac, which
flourished throughout the
mid 20th century, and
especially during the
immediate postwar years
when building materials
were at a premium. It
possessed its own hydroelectric
station for power,
and quarried local clay to
make its products. The
owner, Mr Delomier, was a
respected and generous
employer whose name is still
revered by older residents.
