Lot/Dordogne

The Lot et Garonne and Dordogne areas in France are still relatively undiscovered tourist destinations and have a lot to offer as far as scenery, typical villages and castles, prehistoric caves, gastronomy, kindness of people.. and prices tend to be lower than the French Riviera. It is a very lush and green part of France. There are lots of ancient castles, mansions many places of interest nearby such as the Dordogne region (prehistoric caves, Lascaux), Toulouse, Bordeaux, and the wine region, Carcassonne, Albi, the Pyrenees, the Basque region, the Atlantic coast and Spain.
