You Say

 

The Dordogne is one of the most picturesque and fascinating areas in France and perhaps the most incredible area is the Vezere Valley - the ‘Cradle of Mankind’, you really get close to your ancestors here.  Not only is it beautiful, there is so much to do for all ages.  The Vezere River is great for canoeing, there’s markets, activity & aqua parks and lots, lots more.  It’s the land of Caves - Lascaux II, Font de Gaume, Les Combarelles to name just a few and Castles - Castelnaud is surely one of the most imposing sites, towering majestically over the Dordogne river - the views are stunning.  Perhaps we’re biased, we live here and love it!  Check it out for yourself - and if you want ideas for your holiday, ask us!  Steve & Judie - This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
