Walking Dordogne takes you to all the well kept secrets that are only accessible on foot, horse or canoe. To see the "Real Dordogne" you will have to get off the roads, and on the tracks. Let us take you back, to the places our ancestors called "home" more than 460000 years ago.
We will take you on unforgettable trips to places that are remote, and seen only by a few lucky people, places of interest that are not mentioned on any maps or in any guide books. We will take you back in time to caves, shelters, dwellings and troglodytes hidden away by time and forgotten about.
