Hiking in France

Highlights

The Dordogne is a region of varying landscapes, rich history, and renowned cuisine.

Prehistoric caves, ancient chateaux, and historic bastides dot countryside of rolling hills, limestone plateaus, and cliff-lined valleys. Here you will find all those gourmet ingredients synonymous with French cuisine: truffles, fois gras, wild mushrooms, fine wines and sumptupus cheeses.

This trip offers a nice balance between good hiking and time spent exploring castles, caves, cobbled streets and museums. During the week we will be accompanied by a local guide whose amazing grasp of the prehistory and history of this region will lend a wonderful counter point to our walks. As with all our hiking and walking trips, we look for the right blend of physical endeavor in inspiring settings, comfortable accommodations and satisfying local cuisine.
