With beautiful meandering rivers, charming mellow stone villages and rich vineyards, the Dordogne is the heart of rural France and has some of its loveliest countryside. It is a green and fertile land of undulating hills, prehistoric caves and medieval towns. Lively street markets and bustling bistros are awash with tourists enjoying the rich gastonomy and widely acclaimed wine, for which this region is famed. Be sure to visit the many picturesque hamlets and fortified towns, including La Roque Gageac which clings dramatically to the cliffside above the river below.
