From Argentat to Beynac, the beautiful valley of the Dordogne descends for about 120 kilometres through an area rich in castles and picturesque villages.

This stretch of river runs through three of the loveliest regions of France : Limousin, Quercy and Périgord.

All along the countryside varies from the wooded hills of Corrèze, to the limestone cliffs of the Lot with its charming villages, and finally the castles of the Dordogne.
