“We had 7 days of warm weather as the backdrop to the tour of the beautiful countryside of the Dordogne region. The ride and several climbs which were challenging for me on a regular in the unusual warmth in June (especially on the 2nd day on Monday). My wife was on an electric assisted bike and was rather comfortable. We were mainly on small roads or farm roads, so we did not experience much car traffic.
We made a loop starting from Les Eyzies and went through 5 other small towns and cities. We visited mills, castles, and natural attractions such as the caverns at Padirac and prehistoric cliff dwellings in Roque Saint-Cristophe. The main attractions are the beautiful vistas over the Dordogne river valley.
We fueled our rides with full breakfasts at the hotel. For lunches we picnicked some days and ate at restaurants or cafés on the route. We were rewarded each evening with a dinner of delicious foods from the region which include duck, paté, and rocamadour cheese - all appetizingly presented.
Our guide was great: warm, conversant, and completely knowledgeable about the region. We had a rollicking time with our fellow tour members.” Less
