The Dordogne region is the perfect place for a relaxing holiday. Beautiful bastide towns, wonderfully green countryside and some of the best food and wine in France. The landscape is ordered and almost manicured at times but broken into distinct areas by woods and forest. Gentle undulating land gives way to massive limestone outcrops carved to strange shapes by the Dordogne River and hiding the prehistoric painted caves of early man.
