Package holiday to Dordogne

The Dordogne in southwestern France is a region where time seems to have stood still: medieval villages cling to rocky cliffs above the lazily flowing river, golden limestone houses glow in the afternoon sun, and goose liver pâté, truffles, and walnuts define the delicious cuisine of the region.

The valley of the Dordogne River is dotted with some of the most beautiful villages in France: Beynac-et-Cazenac with its fortress high above the river, La Roque-Gageac, which nestles between rock and water, and Domme with its panoramic view over the entire valley. Sarlat-la-Canéda, the unofficial capital of Périgord Noir, delights with a completely preserved medieval old town and one of the best weekly markets in France, where truffles, foie gras, porcini mushrooms, and local Bergerac wine are offered.

The prehistoric caves of the Dordogne are world-famous: Lascaux, the "Sistine Chapel of Prehistory," showcases 17,000-year-old cave paintings (the exact replica Lascaux IV is a masterpiece of modern museum technology). In Font-de-Gaume, you can still see real original paintings. Canoeing on the Dordogne from Vitrac to Beynac is one of the most relaxing experiences in the region, passing castles, steep cliffs, and shady swimming spots. The best time to visit is from May to October, with autumn being particularly appealing due to the truffle season and foliage changes.

Dordogne particularly impresses with fascinating culture, excellent cuisine. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
