About the Walking in the Dordogne itinerary

The Dordogne is one of France's most enchanting regions — a land of elegant stone houses, medieval castles and rolling countryside where the pace of life slows and every village seems to have a story worth lingering over. Focused around the Dordogne River Valley, walking here offers a rare combination of stunning natural scenery and deep cultural immersion in the heart of the Périgord.

Days on the trail might include wandering through the bustling food markets of Sarlat, following quiet countryside paths through forests and farmland, and arriving into timeless bastide towns where history feels entirely present. Along the way you'll discover the impressive Benedictine Abbey in Souillac, ancient riverside villages and a landscape shaped by centuries of human history.

With luggage transfers and carefully selected accommodation arranged in advance, our Dordogne walking trips allow you to focus entirely on the experience of the region. The food alone is worth the journey — regional specialities including walnuts, truffles, mushrooms and strawberries are all part of the Dordogne's outstanding culinary heritage, and opportunities to sample them are never far away.

From the medieval streets of Sarlat to the quiet riverside paths of the Dordogne Valley, this is a corner of France that rewards those who take the time to explore it on foot — and one that is very hard to leave behind.
