The Dordogne is a department that we have wanted to discover for a long time. With its preserved nature, a rich history and an exceptional heritage, so many components that could only attract us. The program of this trip will focus more precisely on the Périgord Noir where we will be able to see many castles, villages classified among the most beautiful villages in France. We will set off to discover Sarlat la Caneda, a superb medieval city, the castle of Castelnault perched on its rocky spur overlooking the Dordogne, Roque Gageac the postcard of the Périgord, the village of Beynac and its 12th century castle overlooking the Dordogne, Domme perched on its dizzying cliff. We hope that you will like these videos and that they will make you want to come and discover this magnificent corner of France too. Sarlat la Cadena The town of Sarlat has obtained the exceptional classification of three stars in the Michelin guide, with regard to the most beautiful cities in Europe and we quickly understood why. We loved these small picturesque medieval streets and these sunny squares lined with private mansions. It smells good of the south! The sun was once again out this time, the dream to enjoy the town in the middle of October without the usual hordes of tourists If you are in Sarlat on a market day, do not miss it, it is the best place to stock up on local products! with honey, sausages, nuts, confits, foie gras, duck breasts, Craquelés Périgourdin (walnut cakes) and we will stop there as the list is long. Beynac This village dominates the river with its medieval streets and its imposing castle which overlooks the valley and faces its most faithful enemy, the castle of Castelnaud. A member of the very select club of the Most Beautiful Villages in France, the town never fails to charm visitors as soon as its first streets open up to us. It was only in the 11th century that Beynac-et-Cazenac really took off with the construction of the castle. Life was organized at the foot of the fortress into districts, using river traffic thanks to the gabarres (boats). Strolling through the narrow streets that climb up to the castle, it is easy to imagine the activity of the many craftsmen who brought the town to life. La Roque Gageac If there is one village to visit in the Périgord Noir, it is La Roque-Gageac. About ten kilometers from Sarlat-la-Canéda, this troglodyte village nestled in a cliff, is one of the most beautiful in France. Facing due south, the golden houses with their slate or brown tile roofs are reflected in the waters of the Dordogne where, in the 19th century, the famous barges loaded with goods passed. A stroll through the village of La Roque-Gageac sounds like an invitation to daydream… A Canoe Trip Rich in historical heritage and exceptional nature, the Dordogne is an essential place to practice canoeing for those who wish to discover a corner of France from its waterways. In the Dordogne, you can canoe for a few hours or for the day over a few kilometers. A whitewater adventure that presents no danger, to discover its history, its castles and manors, its troglodyte sites, its gastronomy… It is a few kilometers south of Sarlat la Canédat in the Périgord Noir. That we decided to take a canoe trip. Here the Dordogne winds peacefully at the foot of the limestone cliffs. We covered a magnificent section of about thirty kilometers between Veyrignac and Castelnaud-la-Chapelle. And believe us, this part is really worth the detour. Cahors Located in the heart of Quercy, in the hollow of a meander of the Lot, Cahors is especially known for its magnificent fortified bridge listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. However, visiting Cahors also means discovering a historic center rich in medieval houses, sometimes very old, a cathedral with multiple styles, secret gardens, etc. So, if you don't yet know this beautiful city in the southwest, don't hesitate to let yourself be surprised. Saint-Cirq Lapopie Head to one of the most beautiful villages in France, in the Lot department: Saint-Cirq Lapopie. Perched on its rocky spur, the village of Saint-Cirq overlooks the Lot river in a dizzying way. This place, whose first traces date back to the occupation of a Gallo-Roman population, immerses you in a medieval atmosphere through the narrow streets and houses from the 12th to the 15th century. We take you to discover this magnificent village in the southwest of France. Link to our channel: / channel
