Treasures of Black Perigord

Itinerary

Day 1 Arrival at Souillac H-B
Reception at the hotel with documentation & bikes.

Day 2 Souillac to Montignac H-B 45 km
First you’ll leave the Dordogne Valley for the rugged Périgord. You will enjoy a break and a walk around the gardens of Eyrignac. The route then carries on northward to the lovely town of Montignac on the Vézère River.

Day 3 Montignac to Les Ezies H-B 26 km
Today you’ll simply follow the Vézère River downstream. You’ll pass the Chateau of Loss, the village of Saint-Léon, the Saint-Christophe caves…to Les Eyzies, the capital of one of the world’s greatest prehistoric sites.

Day 4 Les Eyzies to Sarlat H-B 36 km
You’ll ride east through the green, thick and bushy “Maquis” of the Perigord to the amazing town of Sarlat, one of the major Medieval centres in Europe.

Day 5 Sarlat to Sarlat H-B 15 km ride + 10 km canoe
We suggest a ride in the heart of the Dordogne valley. You will see some of the most beautiful villages in France. After a short ride, you’ll canoe downstream from Vitrac to Beynac. If you are not interested in the canoeing you can ride the whole way on your bike (35 or 48 km).
