Product Description
The Dordogne region in southwest France offers the walker a beautiful environment in which to walk, surrounded by delightful pastoral countryside, sweeping fields of crops and walnut orchards plus dramatic vistas from cliff tops. The 30 routes, split between the regions of Sarlat and Bergerac, move through this countryside, taking you along valley bottoms and into woodlands and leave plenty of time for exploring the historic sites or just sitting in the delightful surroundings of a village cafe. Illustrated with the author's own colour photographs and sketch maps, this is a comprehensive guide to exploring the region on foot.

 What a disaster! Do not buy this book. August 1, 2008
My husband and I, along with 2 friends used this book 3 separate days last month as a guide to hiking in the Dordogne region. How 4 intelligent, athletic and experienced hikers could get so lost, so many times has to be at least partially the fault of the book we were using as a reference! The writing is so unclear, directions mixed in with rambling observations - don't waste your money. Buy Lonely Planet instead, or just use the well marked national trails. The author should be ashamed.
 A good guide January 24, 2008

This guide looks to be an excellent guide to seeing some of the sites of the Dordorgne. It is necessary to drive a car to get the the start of these hikes, and they basically go on the GR trails, which are for the most part well marked. It is beautiful country to walk in, and you can always find a good bottle of wine in the villages, and sometimes a good bakery.
Only Short Walks August 15, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book has a lot of information for those who want to walk in Dordogne. Nevertheless, it describes only short hikes. So, if you want to do a long hike, as a crossing or a circuit, it doesn't help so much.
