Other than just walking, Walking Dordogne also offers the following trips / tours that are often a great way to combine with walking.
Horse Riding
Ditch the car and get onto some real "Horse Power" 1000's of years ago, there was a very high abundance of wild horses in this region, this can be seen in so many cave paintings found in the region. "Man" has always had a good friendship with horses, and that is still the case today.
We take you to some of the "Jewels" of the Dordogne and Vezere Valley, the only difference, is the way we take you to actually get there.
For hundreds, if not thousands of years, our ancestors would travel to far away places to trade goods, for hundreds of years, and many generations would follow the same tracks and trails to get to these often remote places. Along the way they would rest at places that have now become villages, hamlets and even towns. These tracks and trails quickly disappeared with the invention of the train and later the automobile.. lost and forgotten forever..
Well almost, we take you on a trip of a lifetime following these long forgotten trails.. Get on a horse and let us retrace the routes our ancestors took hundreds of years ago.
Canoeing & Canoe / Hike
Both the Dordogne and Vezere are named after the rivers that cut through
the area. A lot has changed over the years, 1000's of years to be precise.
Ever since "Man" came and settled in the Vezere Valley, the sheer limestone cliffs have been ideal spots to use as shelters, safe from the dangers that
our ancestors faced, wild animals, severe weather, and other tribes.
Some of Dordogne's best kept secrets are still to be found along the rivers, and only accessible by canoe or canoe / hike.
Our canoe trips leave at the crack of dawn, chances are you will spot deer, wild boar, otters, buzzards, kingfishers, fox and plenty of other wildlife.
We will pass Chateaus, ancient farmhouses, troglodytes and caves, and this
is all on the way to our exploring grounds
Mountain Biking / Off Road Cycling
We have spent more than 2 years putting together what is without any doubt the best mountain biking trails in the Dordogne. Our trails will but a smile on every mountain biker. Our trails offer everything you could wish for, fast and fun single tracks, some nail biting switchbacks, some brutal downhills and lets not forget about the fantastic scenery, our trails are mostly loops, and can be combined with most of our other trails to make them longer or shorter. so, if you want to spend an hour cranking, or an 8 hour slaughter, Walking Dordogne is the place to be.
On the days you are not walking, horse riding, canoeing or cycling let us take you to all the the famous spots the Dordogne has to offer. Lascaux, Font de Gaume. Grand Roc, Rocque St Cristophe, National Prehistoric Museum, Beynac, Domme etc.
The Dordogne has literally 1000's of famous, scenic, secret and unknown attractions. We will put together, a tour to suit each individual
All the trips, tours and packages mentioned here are 100% tailored to the needs and wishes of the customer and at all time can be combined with each other. Because we are based in one spot, and all our activities start and finish at Ferme de Tayac, we are extremely flexible and changes can
be made at almost any time.
