Seasons

May and June, September and October are probably best for walking. Accommodation is full and expensive in the summer, closed in the winter.

Centres

Sarlat and Souillac in the Perigord Noir, Bergerac in the Perigord Poupre.

Difficulty

Straightforward half- and full-day walks, with grades from easy to strenuous (for the Dordogne, that is).

Must See

The gentle river Dordogne, ancient towns and villages, chateaux, the food and wine, flowers early in the year, the grape harvest in the Autumn.

The Dordogne region in southwest France conjures up a vision of England as it used to be 50 years ago - a green rural paradise of quiet little villages nestling in shallow valleys. It offers the walker a beautiful environment in which to walk, surrounded by delightful pastoral countryside, sweeping fields of crops and walnut orchards plus dramatic vistas from cliff tops.

The 30 routes, split between the regions of Sarlat and Bergerac, move through this countryside, taking you along valley bottoms and into woodlands and leave plenty of time for exploring the historic sites or just sitting in the delightful surroundings of a village café. Illustrated with the author's own colour photographs and sketch maps, this is a comprehensive guide to exploring the region on foot.
