France
Bordeaux to Dordogne Drive
& Stroll 13 days
Indulge yourself in this magical corner of France. Start in the wine metropolis of Bordeaux, with its grand boulevards. Then travel peaceful roads past villages of golden limestone, walnut groves, and shady oak woods into the heart of an ancient land. Fairytale châteaux rise from the morning mist and limestone cliffs loom overhead, marked by mysterious openings into age-old shelters where herds of bison thunder across cave walls.
