For the pleasure of your stomach and calves

Welcome to the land of castles carved into the rock face, foie gras, truffles, and sweet white wines. Here, life slows down and you feel transported to a simpler time, when France and its inhabitants knew how to enjoy the pleasures of good things. On your bike, your efforts will be rewarded at the end of the day with sumptuous meals showcasing the agriculture and livestock of the Périgord, steeped in the region's royal history.

From Cahors to Sarlat via Rocamadour, you will travel through the ages, from prehistoric caves to Gallo-Roman ruins, from the Middle Ages to the early Renaissance, not forgetting the pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela. Make way for cultivated epicureanism!
