The Dordogne-Lot is one of the most popular regions in France. Here you will find a varied landscape with forests, vineyards, castles and rivers. The Dordogne River meanders through the landscape of the Dordogne valley, inviting visitors to go canoeing, have a picnic or take a refreshing dip. On the official tourist website of the region (dordogne-perigord-tourisme.fr) you will find an overview of sights, hiking routes and events.
Along the river you will find tourist villages such as Domme, La Roque-Gageac and Beynac, all mentioned on the list of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France.
