Offering stunning scenery, rich food and fine wines, the Dordogne Valley is an idyllic area to spend a week cycling through.

Take advantage of one of the self-guided cycling holiday packages available to have the freedom of choosing your own daily itinerary, but enjoy the comfort of having your luggage transported between hotels and a hire bike waiting for you on arrival to France at the same time. Companies offering this package include Inntravel and Cycle the Dordogne.

It is also possible to cycle through the valley with your own bike stopping off at hotels and chateaux as you go, cycling on to the next village if nothing takes your fancy at the first.
