The Dordogne region of South-West France is one of the most beautiful and popular regions of France.
Chateaux, beautiful medieval towns and villages, unspoilt countryside and prehistoric caves are just some of the reasons why the region has been attracting visitors for many years.
Use this site to book your DORDOGNE GITE HOLIDAY and arrange your DORDOGNE CAR HIRE, or simply explore the region along the River and the surrounding area.
Start exploring with the DORDOGNE MAP or one of the menu options.
There are many 'famous sights' in the Dordogne, including: Lascaux caves; Marqueyssac gardens; medieval Sarlat; Chateau Castelnaud; prehistoric caves in the Vezere Valley, etc. Yet it is the places that you visit outside these 'hot-spots' that will stay longest in your memory - the scenery, the peace, the coffee in a small cafe, the picnic next to a stream....
For more information about activities, visiting the area with children, market days and wine-tasting, museums and travel arrangements, and much more besides, see...visiting the Dordogne.
Dordogne Tourism
The Dordogne Valley refers to the path followed by the river, and is towards the south of the region - it passes more or less east to west, passing through Bergerac. The more northerly half of the department is really quite a way from the river! Tourism in the Dordogne doesn't start and end with the river - be sure to venture north and south a little to discover the quiet but equally beautiful regions a little more hidden from the public gaze.
Dordogne holidays and travel
There are easy travel links to the Dordogne region of France from the UK and mainland Europe, and international flights from more far-flung places. Accommodation in attractive gites and chambre d'hotes is easily found - see our 'Self catering Dordogne holidays' section to find gites and holidays in the Dordogne.
Several of the highlights of the region are found to the south of the river and south into the Lot et Garonne department - visit our partner site Lot et Garonne for the region to the south of the River and the northern part of Lot-et-Garonne. Several places along the river and to the south of the river such as Sarlat and La Roque-Gageac appear in both websites.
There is a living in the Dordogne section for those thinking of relocating to the region from other countries.
This site is part of Visit France - a guide to places to visit in France - and is listed in the good value directory.
