For the pleasure of your stomach and calves

Welcome to the land of rock-side châteaux, foie gras, truffles and sweet white wines. Here, life slows down and you're transported back to a simpler time, when France and its people knew how to enjoy the good things in life. By bike, your efforts will be rewarded at the end of the day with rich meals featuring Périgord agriculture and livestock, still steeped in the region's royal history.

So, from Cahors to Sarlat via Rocamadour, you'll travel through the ages, from prehistoric caves to Gallo-Roman remains, from the medieval period to the early Renaissance, not forgetting the roads to Compostela. Make way for cultivated epicureanism!
