Dordogne Ladies Club International (DLCI)

The DLCI is a welcoming community for women from around the world, of all ages, backgrounds and nationalities who have made the Dordogne their home or home-away-from-home and are seeking connection, friendship and shared experiences.

Our Core Values are networking, friendship, support and fundraising for charity. These principles guide our activities and help foster a positive and inclusive environment for all members.

Membership (€25 per annum) gives you access to:

  • A monthly Members Magazine

  • Events - both social and fundraising, lunches, outings etc

  • Coffee/Apero Clubs

  • Book Clubs

The club is run by volunteer members who organise a variety of events and lunches throughout the year (more info below). There are also hubs run by volunteer members, with coffee clubs located in Bergerac, Périgueux, Sainte Foy la Grande and Villeréal as well as an apero club in Saint Aulaye providing opportunities for members to meet and socialise in a friendly setting.

Events

The DLCI events team works hard to organise monthly lunches throughout the year, choosing a variety of venues and locations so that all our members have the chance to join in.

In 2026 we celebrate our 40th Anniversary, and alongside our regular lunches we’ll be hosting a series of special events to mark this milestone. It’s shaping up to be a wonderful year of connection, celebration, and shared memories.

DLCI Monthly Magazine

Our online magazine is packed with fresh updates and engaging content for our members where you’ll find booking details for all upcoming events, along with regular features on gardening, recipes, book reviews, member highlights, photo galleries, and more.

Charities

Each year our members choose three local (adult, child and animal) charities to receive a donation from our fund raising events, such as our Christmas Fair, Easter Quiz lunch and Autumn Quiz night
