The Dordogne, France

The Dordogne, France

The Dordogne is the countryside as children imagine it: castles on every crag, rivers you drift down in a canoe, night markets where dinner is a plate of duck under fairy lights. Base yourselves in a gîte or farm campsite near Sarlat and mix lazy pool days with canoeing the loop past La Roque-Gageac — book the descent from Vitrac and the current does most of the work. The prehistoric cave art at Lascaux IV genuinely awes all ages.
