Brand-new self-guided walking holidays in the Dordogne!

Brand-new self-guided walking holidays in the Dordogne!

Come with us and explore the beautiful Dordogne... 

Just a couple of hours by train from either Bordeaux or Toulouse, the Dordogne is a little rural gem in the heart of the French countryside with its medieval towns and bastide villages, troglodyte houses and fascinating caves. Here, you are in the land of fairytale castles and prehistoric man.

Our brand-new Dordogne walking holidays lead you on an exploration of some of the most beautiful villages such as Sarlat, a town of art and history, with pretty cobbled streets, shaded squares and all-day market on a Saturday, the bastide town of Domme, perched on a vertiginous cliff with buildings of gold coloured stone and Beynac, on the banks of the Dordogne River, listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France. Majestic castles are the backdrop to your self-guided Dordogne walks, (most can be visited), as you follow the Dordogne and Vézère rivers with endless idyllic picnic spots along the way to rest and enjoy the unspoilt scenery.
