France / Dordogne & Lot

Come and discover a region where tradition reigns in the truest sense of the word. The Lot and Dordogne rivers wind their way through rugged cliffs before widening out into fertile valleys. The rolling hills are covered with vineyards that are famous the world over. To the north lies the Perigord-Limousin Regional Park, a true expanse of rolling green landscape with an abundance of meandering streams. Elegant castles, medieval fortified towns and stone villages bursting with charm and tradition dot the countryside.
