Dordogne - travel and tourism

I have not detailed individual walks because these depend on where you are and how challenging you want a walk to be and it is impractical to list hundreds of walks, however attractive they might be!

The whole Dordogne region, with its beautiful scenery and villages, is suitable for walking - away from the main routes even the roads are quiet enough to walk all year around.

All towns in the Dordogne area will have a tourist office with lots of information about local walks and walking, with difficulties to suit all ages and abilities - you are advised to visit early on in your visit so that when the wather is right you are ready to set off - early morning and early evening are usually the best times for walking, both for the light conditions and for the temperatures.

You might like to refer to the hiking section of the Les Eyzies website which includes several attractive walks through the heart of the region.

There are also several walks near Chateau du Hautefort that have been particularly recommended to us, if you find yourself in the vicinity.
