Dordogne

Check out the new Dordogne travel forum

The Dordogne is a region of Aquitaine, France. Dordogne is one of France's best-kept secrets.

Castles, chateaux, and other important historical museums are sprinkled throughout the region, offering enough historical interest for any aficionado, but attractively distributed throughout a breath-taking scenery that needs no scholarly tendencies to enjoy it.

While long a favorite with visitors, the region has escaped much of the overdevelopment of some of France's other regions.
