ITINERARY

Venture into the enchanting Dordogne region for a journey through nature, history, and timeless beauty. Begin your day with a scenic drive to Montignac, winding through rolling countryside, walnut groves, and charming villages. This peaceful introduction sets the tone for a day immersed in landscapes shaped by centuries of human presence and natural harmony.

Step into the fascinating world of Lascaux IV, where a 90-minute guided tour in English brings to life the artistry of our Cro-Magnon ancestors. This complete replica of the original cave immerses you in a world of vivid colors and intricate parietal art, revealing one of humanity’s most astonishing creative achievements. It’s a rare glimpse into the minds of artists who lived 21,000 years ago.

Continue your day in the medieval town of Sarlat-la-Canéda, a gem of French heritage. Enjoy lunch in one of its charming eateries before exploring the cobbled lanes, golden stone façades, and architectural treasures that make Sarlat one of the most beautifully preserved towns in France. The atmosphere here feels suspended in time, steeped in authenticity and warmth.

As you return toward Bordeaux, take in the postcard-perfect views of La Roque-Gageac, perched dramatically between cliff and river, and, if time allows, visit the majestic Château de Beynac, a formidable fortress overlooking the valley. Conclude your unforgettable day with a relaxing drive back to your Bordeaux accommodation, enriched by the spirit of Dordogne’s past and its breathtaking landscapes.
