Dordogne Valley: castles and France’s most beautiful villages to explore

For lovers of history and architecture, the Dordogne valley is an extraordinary playground. Along the Dordogne, fortified silhouettes dominate the meandering river: châteaux, bastides and panoramic views create a grandiose backdrop.

You can visit medieval towns such as La Roque-Gageac, Beynac-et-Cazenac, Domme or Castelnaud-la-Chapelle, the Château de Beynac and the hanging gardens of Marqueyssac, all listed as treasures of the Périgord Noir. Steep cliffs, lauze roofs and traditional houses make every detour an enchantment.

Exploring this landscape also means taking the time to savor the gentle Perigordian way of life, between river, forest and heritage. You’ll pass from viewpoints to medieval streets, between gourmet stops and farmers’ markets. An unforgettable day, which you’ll enjoy even more if you stay at a campsite near La Roque-Gageac.

Visit Sarlat-la-Canéda, the pearl of Périgord Noir

It’s impossible to talk about tourism in the Dordogne-Périgord region without mentioning Sarlat-la-Canéda, a medieval masterpiece and a sublime city of art and history. Strolling through its cobbled streets, admiring its half-timbered houses, taking part in its typical markets, strolling along the Place de la Liberté and taking the panoramic elevator up to the ancient church of Sainte-Marie… it’s a total immersion in the heart of the past. Every street corner tells a story, every square a lively terrace. Depending on the season, plan a visit early in the morning to enjoy the soft light and still-quiet streets. After your discovery, return to the campsite to relax: the green setting and views over the valley prolong the magic of a day spent discovering the Périgord Noir.
