During our stay in Bergerac, we’ll get to explore this landscape to our heart’s content, thanks to the many excursions that are planned.

Continuing south, we make our way to Bergerac, travelling down through the French countryside before arriving at the Hotel de Bordeaux and settling into our accommodation for six nights.
Our included scenic drive along the meandering River Dordogne takes us to Sarlat, with its charming winding streets and pretty honey-coloured buildings. As we travel along the Dordogne, we’ll take in the stunning views and will enjoy the lovely vistas over the river and the surrounding countryside, which is filled with lush green forests and fields. Once in Sarlat, we’ll be able to enjoy all this quaint town has to offer, including its medieval architecture and the Sarlat Cathedral, parts of which dates from the 9th century. We’ll be able to explore the town and can go shopping to buy souvenirs of our visit.
Later, we’ll continue to the market town of Perigueux; home to a wonderful Cathedral of St. Front, which dates from the mid-1600s and which has a similar style to St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, having been modelled after it.
The fortified new towns and villages that were created under Raymond VII of Toulouse’s rule in order to replace those that had been destroyed in Albigensian Crusade are excellent examples of architecture from this time. We’ll visit some of these striking villages during this fantastic excursion.
