Landes and Perigord Combo Ride


Landes and Perigord Combo Ride
Dordogne France

In 1152, the marriage of Eleanor and Henry of Plantagenet leads the Aquitaine region into a long conflict, the 100 year war. Numerous walled towns and castles were built during this period in order to respond to the different strategic, political, and economic requirements.    

We invite you on this journey back in time, at the discovery of different parts of Aquitaine, from fortified castles, jewels of Perigord: Bonaguil, Biron & Gavaudun, to the heart of Gironde through the vineyard of Sauternes, finishing on the Atlantic Coast and across the Landes Forest.

The first part of the trip is spent in a lovely accommodation, strategically located at the crossings of the Lot, Lot & Garonne and Dordogne departments. Thanks to this ideal location we can explore new landscapes every day, learning more about the local Bastides (fortified town) and fortified castles.

Then, we ride through the Sauternes vineyard and have the opportunity to taste some wine before heading to the Atlantic Coast and the Landes Forest, where the remaining part of the trip will be spent.
