Dordogne valley at Montvalent

 

Exploring the Dordogne in Quercy and Beyond
Follow the path of the Dordogne River as it meanders through the Quercy region of the Lot department, where the landscape alternates between the river’s lush valleys and the Causse du Quercy—a serene limestone plateau offering sweeping, open vistas.

While the scenery here may be more understated than in the Dordogne department, it is no less captivating. Highlights include Rocamadour, France’s second most visited pilgrimage site, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Gorge de l’Ouysse and the stunning Dordogne Valley. This tranquil setting is perfect for leisurely biking tours, allowing you to immerse yourself in the region’s natural beauty.

Along the way, take time to discover charming medieval villages such as Souillac, Martel, Carennac, and Rocamadour, each rich in history and character. And don’t miss the Gouffre de Padirac, a breathtaking underground river system that promises an unforgettable experience.
