The Dordogne region has long been appreciated for its magnificent countryside and important historical sites including the Benedictine monastery in Souillac and the castles and fortified towns which overlook the Dordogne and Vezere rivers. During these six days of cycling there is ample opportunity to explore these towns as well as the vertical city of Rocamadour, the Lascaux caves and the surrounding landscapes encompassing the stunning black Perigord.
