Dordogne is certainly one of the most picturesque regions of France. Wherever you look, you will see medieval castles, listed gardens, postcard-like villages, walnut farms, goose farms or truffle farms…The region is the perfect illustration of the French paradox, the concept linking a diet of red wine and duck fat to a long and healthy life ! Our Dordogne tours focus on the south of the region, around the medieval town of Sarlat, the Prehistory site of Les Eyzies and around the lovely city of Bergerac as well as an incursion to neighboring département of Lot, to explore the city of Cahors area, for great Malbec wines, painted caves and scenic villages such as Rocamadour or Saint Cirq Lapopie.
