March / April 2010

The Dordogne is a beautiful, vast and unspoiled river valley tucked away in a corner of southwest France that has changed little since the medieval period, when it was known as the Perigord. These scenic, meandering country roads are lined with a wealth of intriguing cliff-top castles, splendid medieval market towns and historic Renaissance chateaux that played an integral role in French and English history. The region, inhabited since prehistoric time, is also home to some of the world’s most important and best-preserved prehistoric remains. This issue of The European Traveller follows the historic castle route through the region’s most fascinating sights including the medieval castles of Beynac and Castelnaud; the historic villages of Domme and Le Roque-Gageac; the splendid market town of Sarlat; and the most famous cave paintings and dwellings along the prehistoric trail. Which quaint chateaux hotels (and rooms) are the most beautiful, comfortable and convenient for touring; which Michelin restaurants make (or miss) the mark; and which of the many valuable tips are most likely to save time and money? The Dordogne issue is a must for traveling this magical region. Subscribers may also be interested in the issues on Bordeaux, the Basque, Paris and Paris Day Trips.
