On the advice of the campground hosts, we took a 30 minute drive into the country (farther into the country, I guess) to tour and learn about the famous Perigord truffle.  We arrived at a farm where a man passionately taught us more than anyone should ever know about the world of truffles.  Our French is pretty limited but, he was able to translate the high points.  After a thorough education we took to the truffle orchard with our truffle dog, Farah.  She got to play in the sprinklers while he talked about how they “bonsai” trim the trees so the tree will continue to make new roots. (That’s where the truffles grow)  When he got his basket and digging tool out, she was ready to work.  She would sniff around till she found one then paw the ground so we could dig them up. The guy was great!  He gave all of the kids a chance to dig up a truffle.  What a great experience!
