DESTINATION INFORMATION

Traditionally loved by the British with its graciously flowing river and rich countryside, the Dordogne region offers relaxation, activity and sightseeing. There is much to explore - many castles, fairy-tale architecture sitting precipitously on the top of riverside cliffs, ancient monuments and medieval towns like Perigueux, Sarlat and Bergerac where you can discover the Dordogne's historical and cultural riches. Sporting activities such as riding, golfing, canoeing and tennis are available. The gastronomy of this region is renowned for its truffles, fois gras and walnuts. With the well renowned vineyards of Bordeaux to the east and yet only a days drive from the ports of Caen and Le Havre, the Dordogne continues to draw its devotees.
