Why choose the Dordogne for a cycling holiday?

Cycling in the Dordogne is perfect for all levels of cyclists. Many of the routes follow the course of the Dordogne or Vézère Rivers, providing a flat and scenic ride. The riverbanks are dotted with picturesque villages, verdant vineyards, and lush forests, offering plenty of opportunities for leisurely stops and photo breaks along the way. Our cycling holidays in the Dordogne also lead you through rolling countryside and tranquil woodlands & past majestic castles. The climbs up to the medieval villages & castles can be steep, but the view from the top of the river winding through lush green landscapes is well worth the effort!
