The Dordogne is a region of Aquitaine, France. Dordogne is one of France's best-kept secrets.
Castles, chateaux, and other important historical museums are sprinkled throughout the region, offering enough historical interest for any aficionado, but attractively distributed throughout a breath-taking scenery that needs no scholarly tendencies to enjoy it.
While long a favourite with visitors, the region has escaped much of the overdevelopment of some of France's other regions.
Visitors from around the world flock to see the prehistoric caves.
Dordogne has a wealth of story-book chateaux such as Château de Beynac in Beynac-et-Cazenac, and the excellent museum of medieval warfare at the fortified Chateau de Castelnaud.
The legendary stone villages of Dordogne, including Rocamadour, Domme and La Roque Gageac, are unforgettably picturesque.
The Dordogne is a wonderful area for walking and hiking. There are various good maps of the region or otherwise quite a few local, independent walking holiday providers can help you on your way.
Dordogne is a department in Southwestern France, with its prefecture in Périgueux. The department is located in the region of Nouvelle-Aquitaine between the Loire Valley and the Pyrenees and is named after the river Dordogne that runs through it. It corresponds roughly with the ancient county of Périgord.
There are more than 1,500 castles in Dordogne, making it "The Other Chateau Country."
