Did you know?

When many people hear the name Bergerac, the first thing that springs to mind is Cyrano – and yet the famous literary character created by Edmond Rostand never lived here! Rostand’s work is based on the life of Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac, but he has no direct connection with the town. Nevertheless, there is a statue of Cyrano in Bergerac, in a nod to this literary association.
