Dordogne
Dordogne
General
The three rivers of the Dordogne, Lot and Gers flow through a region of contrasts, from the fertile plains, limestone cliffs and wooded valleys of the Dordogne, to the rugged gorges of the Lot and the rolling fertile landscape of the Gers. The River Dordogne flows from the mountains of the Massif Central out to the Atlantic at Bordeaux. The Dordogne is rich in agriculture and offers a delightful mix of landscapes, from hills to agricultural meadows, woodlands and honey-coloured stone houses with colourful window boxes. To the east, the Lot region is named after the wide, slow-moving river that winds its way through low hills and gorges towards some of the oldest vineyards in France. To the south-west, the Gers valley opens out into beautiful, gently rolling countryside.
