Discover the Delights of Charming Dordogne

The Dordogne is situated in the southwest of France in between the High Pyrénées and the lush Loire Valley.  Our train holidays take you to some of the most beautiful surrounding areas where you can marvel at the outstanding views and countryside.  Approximately 1,500 extraordinary castles are dotted around the region and charming buildings sit amongst the craggy cliffs.  The Dordogne is renowned for its exquisite medieval towns and villages, and the prehistoric caves which lie underground are an interesting attraction.  There are so many areas to visit that you will be spoilt for choice.

Experience the Charming Dordogne by Train

A holiday to the Dordogne promises to take you on a journey back in time as you explore this tranquil and authentic region.  La Roque-Gageac is a small village which rests on the banks of the Dordogne and is overlooked by the rocky cliffs.  It is home to wonderful exotic gardens which are bursting with vivid colours and are most definitely worth a visit.  France is celebrated for mouth-watering cuisine and delectable wines due to its prosperous vineyards and thriving countryside.  There are many market towns during your charming Dordogne train holiday where you can sample the delights for yourself.
