Discover an undiscovered France... Very few tourists have uncovered the delights of this region of SW France, so you’ll feel like a native in ‘la vraie France’. The Dordogne Region offers the best in a French vacation: history (from Pre, to Roman, Medieval to present), 1001 castles, medieval villages, beautiful vistas, quiet country roads, and world-renowned cuisine and wine or cook at home after visiting a Farmers Market! Our central location is perfect to explore the incredible variety of the Perigord. This is an area that has much to explore, for both adults and children.

Visit the top French Vineyards which produce the world famous Bordeaux wines, visit several old fortified villages (bastides), experience breathtaking views of Rocamadour sitting precariously on cliff sides, and be awe stricken with the natural wonders of the Padirac Chasm. Visit the medieval villages of Sarlat, and Perigueux. Canoe down the Dordogne River past Castles and villages built into the rock face (La Roque-Gageac). Visit the caves of Lascaux II and Les Eyzies (the capital of prehistory).  

For the kids, castles filled with medieval armaments to bring alive the stories of knights in shining armor. beautiful Medieval Chateaux that re-enact knights jousting on horseback with carnivals in period costumes!

For the Shopper, Antique markets and shops, Farmer’s markets, and in summer every Thursday night you can stroll into the village and enjoy the night market with music, in the square, with Dancing under the Stars! Meet all the local French families who come out to enjoy the music and dancing, even the 90 year olds!
