The Dordogne Valley is renowned as one of the most idyllic places for cycling, offering scenic routes along the Dordogne River. As you pedal through this captivating region, you’ll encounter lush landscapes, rolling hills, and historic sites at every turn. Highlights of Dordogne bike trips include stops in picturesque towns like Sarlat, known for its cobbled streets and medieval architecture, Rocamadour, perched dramatically on a cliffside, and Bergerac, a hub for wine lovers.
A tour of Dordogne, France, wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the famous Lascaux caves, home to some of the world’s most significant prehistoric paintings. These caves provide a fascinating glimpse into ancient history, adding a unique cultural dimension to your journey. From medieval castles to ancient art, Dordogne France tours offer an enriching experience for history buffs and casual travelers alike.
Beyond its historical and natural treasures, Dordogne is a destination that appeals to the senses. The region’s gastronomy is legendary, featuring dishes like foie gras, duck confit, and walnut-based desserts, all paired perfectly with wines from Bergerac. Cycling through Dordogne allows you to discover its culinary delights while enjoying the quaint charm of its villages.
Whether you’re planning holidays in Dordogne or a dedicated cycling trip, this region promises an unforgettable adventure. From breathtaking landscapes to rich history and vibrant culture, Dordogne tours offer a unique and rewarding way to explore one of France’s most beloved regions.
REASONS TO DISCOVER DORDOGNE
The Dordogne region boasts hundreds of caves, many of which are open to the public for visits. The two types of commonly found caves in this area are those that are known for their prehistoric paintings and those that are sought out for the incredible rock formations they contain. Some of our cycling tours will take you to the Lascaux Caves in particular – a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located near the village of Montignac, these caves are famous for their numerous prehistoric paintings of animals.
Visitors in Dordogne certainly have their pick of castles to explore, however two in particular stand out from the rest. The Château de Beynac is the best-preserved castle in the region. Erected in the Middle Ages, this amazing structure is perched high atop a limestone cliff above the Dordogne River. The Château de Castelnaud in Castelnaud-la-Chapelle is also incredible. This medieval fortress overlooks the Dordogne Valley.
It is one of the largest towns in the region and is located on the north bank of the Dordogne River, in what is referred to as the Purple Perigord. Take some time to explore the “old town” with its quaint boutiques and fine dining. There are also beautiful old mansions and museums to visit. La Maison des Vins, for example – is the headquarters of the Council of Wine makers of the Bergerac region. The Tobacco Museum is unique in France and housed in a 17th-century house on the street of l’Ancien-Pont. It has an impressive collection of pipes and tools to illustrate the history of tobacco. The city of Bergerac can be visited on most of our Dordogne cycling tours.
The town of Sarlat, capital of the Black Perigord, is centrally located and is perhaps the most famous town in the Dordogne region. With brilliant architecture and cozy little streets perfect for a leisurely bike ride, visitors will quickly learn why so many people choose this town as their travel destination. Don’t miss the Saint Sacerdos Medieval Cathedral, or the Maison de la Boétie, birthplace of Etienne de la Boetie (in 1530), now used for summer exhibitions. Sarlat also hosts the Sarlat Theatre Festival in the summer and a Film Festival in November. The town is in all our Dordogne cycling tours.
Rocamadour is probably the most picturesque village in the Dordogne Valley. You will be awestruck by the impossible construction of this historic town on the side of a cliff. The buildings of Rocamadour (from ròca, cliff, and Saint Amador) rise up the side of a cliff on the right bank of the Alzou River – a tributary to the Dordogne River. Flights of steps ascend from the lower town to the pilgrimage churches. Rocamadour is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Dordogne is made up of many small villages, each with their own unique charm. Among others, our tours will bring you to:
Perigord is famous for its cuisine and a meal in an “auberge de campagne”, local restaurant, is worth the visit! It is the goose grease used in most dishes that gives such a particular taste to the Perigord gastronomy. Among the most famous dishes, we find the Duck confit (confit de Canard) and the Magret de canard – breast from a specific breed of duck. And for a true experience, try the foie gras – a delicacy made from goose or duck liver!
The Black Perigord is famous for its truffles. Truffles are a very specific type of edible mushrooms. They are quite difficult to find and therefore can be very expensive.
Dordogne also has delicious red wines from Bergerac, and the sweet Monbazillac – a white wine produced along the banks of the Dordogne River.
A legend pretends that when God distributed his castles, he started by the Loire Valley. Leaving the area, his bag burst over the Dordogne River and the Perigord region will be eternally thankful for his clumsiness!
Dordogne is known as the ‘cradle of mankind’ because of the numerous prehistoric sites, which have been found in the area.
During Roman Times, the province of Aquitania extended almost as far north as the Loire River. Later on, the area became an English possession when Eleanor of Aquitaine, daughter of the last duke of Aquitaine married to the throne of England’s heir in 1152. It remained English until the 15th century and the end of the Hundred Year’s War when it was then annexed by France.
