Bergerac Dordogne-Périgord airport — Bergerac, France

EGC, Bergerac Dordogne-Périgord Airport, serves Bergerac in the Dordogne region of southwestern France, an area renowned for wine production, truffles, foie gras, and picturesque medieval towns. The airport caters heavily to British and other European tourists, particularly homeowners and holidaymakers drawn to the Dordogne's countryside and châteaux. Seasonal low-cost carrier routes connect EGC to UK cities, making it a vital gateway for the region's substantial expatriate and tourism economy. Outside peak season, traffic diminishes considerably. The airport also supports general aviation and occasional cargo related to the local wine and agricultural export trade. EGC's role illustrates how regional French airports often depend on international leisure travel rather than domestic business traffic.
