A treat for your stomach and calves
Welcome to the land of castles perched on rocky cliffs, foie gras, truffles, and sweet white wines. Here, life slows down, and you feel as though you’re traveling back to a simpler time, when France and its people knew how to savor the pleasures of life’s finer things.
On your bike, your efforts will be rewarded at the end of the day with sumptuous meals showcasing the Périgord’s agriculture and livestock, always steeped in the region’s royal history. From Cahors to Sarlat via Rocamadour, you’ll journey through the ages—from prehistoric caves to Gallo-Roman ruins, from the Middle Ages to the early Renaissance, not to mention the Camino de Santiago. Make way for refined epicureanism!
