The Dordogne, France.

Some Reasons To Visit The Dordogne.
By Marcus Smith.

There are many reasons to visit and explore the Dordogne department in the Aquitaine region of France.Some of the key highlights include:

Lascaux caves.
The prehistoric paintings at Lascaux are probably the most renowned cave paintings in the world. The cave paintings you can now visit are a copy of the prehistoric paintings contained in the original Lascaux caves, 200 metres away, because human breath was damaging the originals. The replica paintings have been made using the same materials and techniques as were used for the original paintings, 19,000 years ago.

The Lascaux cave paintings are mostly pictures of large animals, including the 'auroch' - a now extinct early relative of the ox (it is thought that the Auroch was worshiped as a sacred beast in prehistoric times). Truly a remarkable experience and you quickly forget that you are looking at modern day replicas.

Sarlat.
Sarlat is a beautiful medieval town a few kilometres north of the River Dordogne. The old town, dating from both medieval and renaissance times is a pleasure to visit, especially during the spring and autumn, or early in the morning. If you can catch the early morning sunshine on the yellow sandstone buildings, so much the better.

Wander through the back streets around the cathedral to get a feel for how the town must have been 500 years ago.

Les Eyzies.
Les Eyzies is at the centre of a very beautiful area, in the Vezere Valley, with numerous cliff and rock formations, surrounded by rivers, hills and tranquil countryside. At the centre of prehistoric life in Europe, there are several interesting cave systems and prehistoric relics to visit around Les Eyzies.

Les Eyzies is also home to the National Prehistory Museum which houses one of the world’s most complete collections of prehistoric artefacts. Just a couple of hundred metres from the National Prehistory museum is Abri Pataud, a cro-magnon shelter dating back almost 40,000 years. The cave-lined Vézère valley has been classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO

Chateaux.
In the Dordogne region there are reputed to be 1001 chateaux. Many of the most magnificent are open to the public. Start perhaps with the Chateau de Commarque, Chateau de Castelnaud, or (my personal favourite) Chateau de Beynac, set high above the Dordogne river and the attractive village of Beynac.

Each has its own impressive tale to tell of centuries of conflict, often between the French and the English during the Hundred Years War, and each has its own magnificent views over the surrounding countryside.

Most beautiful villages.
There are several villages in the Dordogne region that have received the prestigious ‘Most Beautiful Villages of France’ award. These include Monpazier, a perfectly preserved medieval bastide town to the south of the region; La Roque-Gageac, a picture postcard village spread out along the Dordogne river, with troglodyte dwellings and a tropical garden spreading up the cliff behind; and Beynac, mentioned above for its castle but equally attractive as a village in its own right. Several other villages in the immediate vicinity also have the award.

The Dordogne region provides a glimpse into a world virtually unchanged as the centuries have unfolded and a visit is always an unforgettable experience.

Gites in the Aquitaine

From the flat, sandy plains and pine forests of the Landes to the beautiful lagoon of the Bassin d'Arcachon... Aquitaine is immensely diverse.
Bordeaux is one of the best and most established wine growing regions in France, with brandy lovers visiting the town of Cognac.
Towards the Pyrenees a Spanish feel takes hold in the popular resorts of Bayonne and Biarritz and the valley of the Dordogne provides a sharp contrast.

Aquitaine

Aquitaine
By Alan Tyrrell co-founder of Let's Rent Property In France.com

Bordeaux is the capital of Aquitaine, and is a cosmopolitan, lively and interesting city, with beautiful old buildings and fabulous shops. It has been an important town for centuries, and was important during the Napoleonic wars, when cannons were shipped from forges all over the region, down the rivers to Bordeaux, where the battle ships were waiting to sail and enter the wars.

Throughout the surrounding area, and all the way along the Dordogne river are vineyards and it is recommended that you attend a wine tasting at one of the famous châteaux, while visiting. The whole region is littered with important wine regions. The smaller ones, like the dessert wine of Monbazillac near Bergerac, should not be overlooked.

As you go south the beaches near Biarritz host top-class surfing contests, which are incredible to watch. This huge and diverse region has a wealth of sights, cultures and cuisine. But don�t miss the rolling hills, medieval châteaux, prehistoric caves and rivers of the Dordogne, as well as the pine-covered sandy terrain of the Landes - the largest forest in Europe - and the endless stretch of sandy beach and dramatic sea spanning the whole Atlantic coast of this region, and taking you right down to the Basque country and the Pyrénées-Atlantiques. There is skiing in the pyrenees during the winter, but this remote area is also beautiful in summer.

Because of its central position it has Bourgogne to its north, Centre to its northwest and west, Midi-Pyrenees to its southwest, Languedoc-Roussillon to its south and Rhone-Alpes to its east. The Auvergne region is composed of the four departments Puy de Dôme, Haute Loire, Cantal & Allier.

Two well known cheeses, Fourme and Bleu d'Auvergne come from the department of Cantal. The Auvergne Mountains are the source of the Dordogne River which flows for a distance of 300 miles passing through the Limousin region on its route.
