The Dordogne is a beautiful region, well known as the Garden of France, it is unspoilt in all aspects and under populated.
The region is tucked away in the South West of France in an area north east of Bordeaux - it is well known as a number one venue for up market camping and touring holidays because of the richness of the countryside and the wealth of culture and scenery on offer.
Dordogne is well known for its favourite towns of Saint Emilion and Bergerac which are renowned wine towns, producing some of France`s finest wines especially at the former.
The basic topography of the Dordogne is rolling hills, a very green and colourful landscape with a large number of impressive and dramatic rivers and waterfalls which are popular tourist attractions. The towns and villages are historic with cobbled streets and very often perched on hill tops with impressive outlooks over the rolling Dordogne scenery.
