Once at your hotel you can take some time to visit the Benedictine monastery from the 12th century. See the remarkable abbey-church with fine carvings, and a statue of the prophet Isaiah, a masterpiece of the Romanesque art. Overnight stay in a charming hotel.
Your first day riding is easy and follows the valley with many visits possible, most notably the gardens of Eyrignac. Nice château to visit when you arrive in Salignac. Afterwards you continue to Tamniès.
A leisurely ride towards St Genies, a typical village. You will then enter the Vézère valley, famous for its prehistorical past. Many places to visit along the way, for example Roque-St-Christophe, with its caverns set in the rock. Your cycling ends In Les Eyzies de Tayac, world prehistoric centre, where you will discover the well-known archaeological wealth and underground caves.
A longer ride today, you will want to start your day early to spend more time in Les Eyzies to visit the grottos. Be sure to also visit the château in the village of Beynac perched on a clifftop as well.
The ride from Les Eyzies takes you through Montignac where along the way is the famous Lascaux and Lascaux II grottos. In Sarlat, largest medieval town in Europe, true jewel of the renaissance and gothic era.
You can visit the grottos of Cougnac before continuing to the Dordogne Valley where you start to discover many of the local châteaux. You will have time to visit the château and fortified village of Domme overlooking the river. La Roque Gageac is an old river port pressed against the cliffside.
Returning now to the starting point, you will follow the Dordogne River and along the way pass the chateaux of Veyrignac and Fénelon. Return to the same hotel as the first night.
