Dordogne - 8 Day Self Guided Walk
The appeal of the Dordogne region is astonishingly wide-ranging. The fertility of the land and the plenitude of the rivers have made the Dordogne valley a favoured habitat for mankind for thousands of years. A history of struggle and conflict has left its mark on the architecture of the region. Rather than luxuriant chateaux, fortified castles are the more characteristic landmarks. The height of the rocky crags is matched by the depth of the gorges and our route through this beautiful region takes us past some of the most spectacular scenery in France.

Itinerary
Days 1-2 St Cere to Loubressac
The bustling market town of St Cere on the banks of the River Bave is a delightful place with a unique character. With two medieval towers dominating the skyline and wooden houses dating from the 15th century, it is truly one of France's hidden gems. Stroll around town to prepare for the adventure ahead, and then enjoy the magnificent views over the Gorge d'Autoire on the way to Loubressac.Day 3 Loubressac to Carennac
Take an optional longer route via Gouffre de Padirac, or simply head directly down river to Carennac. Overhanging the Cere and Bave rivers, this brown-roofed medieval town is awash with beautiful buildings and magical views over the St Cere Valley.Days 4-5 Carennac to Martel
Cross the river Dordogne and enter Martel, the medieval town of seven towers. Stroll the narrow cobbled streets with their fascinating old doorways and mullioned windows. Take a day to relax and rest tired legs, ride the local Truffadou steam train, or enjoy an optional circular walk to Mont Mercou.Day 6 Martel to Meyronne
Walk across the rolling hills of the Causse de Gramat, through woods and past farmland to the tiny riverside village of Meyronne. Take to the streets to see beautiful old houses that are typical of the region.Days 7-8 Meyronne to Rocamadour
Enjoy the final day's walk to Rocamadour. The terrain today is diverse and colourful, from thickly wooded forests, to open meadows, to stunning views of the valleys and hills.The sudden view of the houses of Rocamadour, clinging to the edge of a huge cliff, is breathtaking. The terraces that hold up the stone buildings here are shrouded in shadow at night, making it seem as if the houses are suspended in air.Trip Details
