Dordogne

The Dordogne, known to locals as the Périgord, is a timeless rural idyll. The region’s scenic countryside is packed with château and pretty villages, and at every turn you’ll find superb food and fascinating history. In summer, canoe down the gently flowing Vézère and Dordogne rivers, visit fine prehistoric cave art, sip excellent wine in artisan vineyards and load up with delicious produce in foodie markets from charming Sarlat-la-Canéda and historic Bergerac among others. Stay with Sawday’s in stylish stone gites, grand châteaux and family-run B&Bs, a collection of special places all chosen by us for their characterful nature and sense of spirit.
