Discover the Quercy-Perigord (Lot-Dordogne) in the Southwestern part of France on foot or by car.
We arrange your stay with us up to your demands.
We take you where you want, on foot with average walks of 8km every day or by private car which gives you the freedom to stop in the smaller and less known places. Discover the southwest of France off the beaten tracks!
We can help you to find the right accomodation or a nice restaurant and add to your classic itinerary some special spots. Local artists or farms, small villages, local markets and events will be added to the visits of castles and caves. If you like potholing or kayaking, we can also arrange it for you. Just ask us what kind of journey you are dreaming of in our beautiful and well preserved region, and we will arrange it for you!
