Périgord is a real country In its own right, you can explore four colours, four facets: white, black, green and purple. Each of these "Périgords" has its own historical, architectural or natural treasures.
During our last field trip, we discovered pleasant little roads, loved wandering from castle to castle and visiting some of the most beautiful villages in France. Over the course of the kilometres, unique atmospheres surrounded us, whether crossing sumptuous natural scenery, riding by vineyards, rivers... We also set off this summer to the Lot: what a joy it was to follow the Dordogne to Souillac on a small road at the end of the world; or view beautiful authentic landscapes by travelling along the Lot or the Célé between Figeac and Saint-Cirq-Lapopie. The Lot is still very natural and sometimes steep, the small roads are not very busy even in the middle of summer.
Whatever your level, you can fully enjoy the Périgord and the Lot by riding at your own pace: we will build a course that suits your abilities. Dare to venture into the hilly landscapes; an electric bicycle can be there to assist you if you wish.
In a region with such a varied heritage, you will surely want to come back to explore all its colours. So ride and enjoy yourself!
