| Zoom on... the Dordogne Valley |
| The Dordogne Valley, just under a 2 and a half hours’ drive from Bordeaux and 4 and a half from Paris, is a paradise on earth, with a kaleidoscope of assets. It is a registered UNESCO site and one of the world’s largest biosphere reserves. The valley’s unique landscape with steep cliffs dotted with splendid castles, its prehistoric caves, fortified medieval towns and picturesque classified villages, its remarkable gardens and outstanding gastronomy (you can just smell the truffles and foie gras from here!) make it an exceptional destination. |
