Dordogne, Biking
Biking along the most beautiful river in France
We first started coming to this region in the early 1980’s, attracted by quiet country roads to bike and wonderful scenery, with castles seemingly around every corner; the Dordogne retains this charm and now has superb hotels and restaurants. In addition, the sites of Lascaux II, Rocamadour and others make this a unique place in all of the world
