France

The Dordogne

This department in south west France takes its name from the river - but it is the wonderful mix of caves, chateaux, medieval towns, cuisine and countryside that has led to its huge popularity with our groups. The Dordogne meanders through steep wooded hills where you discover sand coloured stone villages sometimes balanced on the edge of rocky gorges, sometimes huddled tightly along the riverside. This is one of the loveliest areas of France and its dramatic scenery and relaxing atmosphere will leave a lasting impression on its visitors.
