Walking in the Dordogne valley and surrounding hills. You can choose from two walking tours in the Dordogne region: a 7-night/8 day tour (trip code JD8) and a 9-night/10 day tour. Much of the route is common to both.
The 10 day walking tour is a circuit of approx. 120km in the area of the Upper Dordogne Valley. Castles, stone-built medieval villages, ruins and caves lend daily interest to the circuit. 'Une surprise a chaque pas'. The individual, family-run hotels offer the sort of cooking that people come to France for, and several have noted chefs.
This is the land of truffles, foie gras, magret de canard and rich dark wines.
This is a region of France that is largely away from normal tourist haunts in the Departments of Correze and Lot. The scenery is varied, taking in the limestone plateaux or Causses and then later wooded hills, which slope steeply down to the Dordogne at the delightful former river port of Beaulieu. 9 plus villages on this Dordogne walking holiday are on the unofficial but prestigious list of the '161 most beautiful villages in France' (Les Plus Beaux Villages de France). Curemonte, stretched out along a ridge; the gentlemen's houses or gentilhommieres of Autoire; Loubressac, on a high spur above the Dordogne Valley; Carennac, with its elaborate abbey church; Turenne, encircling a hilltop castle; and the celebrated red sandstone village of Collonges-la-Rouge. Beaulieu sur Dordogne owes it's name of the Limousin Riviera to it's gentle way of life on the banks of the mythical river" and "Rocamadour, this world heritage site clings to the cliff overlooking the Alzou Canyon". "Martel" the historic town of 7 towers.
