The Dordogne region of South-West France is one of the most beautiful and popular regions of France. Full of chateaux, forests and gardens, beautiful medieval towns and villages, unspoilt countryside, rivers and caves, Dordogne country is a perfect backdrop to a horseback ride. Some of Dordogne's most famous sites include Lascaux caves, Marqueyssac gardens, medieval Sarlat, Chateau Castelnaud, and prehistoric caves in the Vezere Valley.
