Overview

The Dordogne is a region that rewards the curious walker at every turn. Gentle trails wind along the river through chestnut forests and walnut orchards. Cliff-top villages like La Roque Gageac, Domme and Beynac line the valley, each one among the most beautiful in France. The cobbled streets of Sarlat-la-Canéda make a magnificent base, with its medieval architecture and bustling market. Stroll's Dordogne walking holidays also venture into the Vézère Valley, home to the UNESCO-listed prehistoric caves of Lascaux IV and one of the world's most significant collections of ancient cave art. Each night ends in handpicked, characterful accommodation that feels every bit as special as the walking.
