Walking in the Dordogne

35 walking routes in the Dordogne - Bergerac, Lalinde, Sarlat and Souillac
This guidebook describes 35 walking routes in France's beautiful Dordogne region, based around Sarlat and Souillac regions (Perigord Noir) and Bergerac (Perigord Poupre). The walks range from short walks to mountain circuits, and explore the spectacular gorges, chateaux and medieval villages of the region.

The Dordogne is one of France's most beloved regions for good reason. Rolling limestone valleys, dramatic river gorges, medieval bastide towns, Renaissance châteaux, and some of Europe's most significant prehistoric cave art combine to create a walking landscape as rich in history and culture as it is in natural beauty.

With walks suited to all abilities and free of steep ascents or descents, this comprehensive guidebook by Janette Norton, Alan Norton and Pamela Harris covers 35 graded day walks across the Dordogne, ranging from 6 to 19km (4 to 12 miles) and taking between 2 and 6 hours to complete. Clear route descriptions are paired with 1:50,000 mapping and downloadable GPX files, with information on accommodation, facilities, and local plants and wildlife throughout.

• 35 graded walks are described across four areas, covering Bergerac and the Périgord Pourpre, Lalinde, Sarlat and the Périgord Noir, and the Lot valley around Souillac, with walks taking between 2 and 6 hours
• Medieval châteaux, bastide towns and prehistoric cave art feature throughout, including the UNESCO-listed Vézère valley near Les Eyzies, the châteaux of Bridoire, Biron and Milandes, and the bastide towns of Monpazier and Domme
• The Lot valley around Souillac delivers some of the most dramatic walking in the guidebook, with routes to Rocamadour, the Gouffre de Padirac and the causses and gorges of Quercy
