The Dordogne is situated in the southwest of France in between the High Pyrénées and the lush Loire Valley. Our train holiday, based in pretty Le Bugue, takes 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 on a Dordogne train holiday that you will be spoilt for choice.
