Dordogne River Cruises
The pleasures of bygone France are brought to life along the
Dordogne River. Flowing from within the Massif Central mountain
range, this waterway weaves through the bucolic countryside of
Southwestern France on its way to the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean
at the Gironde estuary. Imposing limestone cliffs frame the
Dordogne's course, and upon them, elegant châteaux and medieval
castles gaze over the quickly moving waters. Verdant forests and
undulating vineyards further enhance the beauty of a cruise down
the river; however, it is the ancient towns and beautiful little
villages that are the beating heart of the Dordogne River Valley,
each showcasing historic architecture and marvelous
views.
