            Why Cycle in the Dordogne?

            The Dordogne is a superb destination for cyclists who want to combine rewarding riding with history, culture and exceptional cuisine. The region's varied landscapes create a natural playground for road cyclists, from the wooded lanes and limestone cliffs of the Périgord Noir to the sweeping valley roads of the Vallée de la Dordogne. Riders can expect a mix of rolling climbs, exhilarating descents and peaceful routes through some of south-west France's most beautiful countryside.

            Our guided cycling tour explores the highlights of the region, including the medieval streets of Sarlat, the dramatic scenery of the Lot Valley and the prehistoric wonders surrounding Lascaux. A day cycling through the Dordogne is never complete without experiencing the region's renowned gastronomy, from local walnuts and cheeses to the vineyards of Bergerac and the sweet wines of Monbazillac.

            The Dordogne is particularly suited to cyclists who enjoy varied terrain without the demands of high mountain riding. With expert guides, carefully selected routes and the chance to discover one of France's most captivating regions by bike, it's an unforgettable choice for a cycling tour in the Dordogne.

            Is the Dordogne good for cycling?

            Yes, the Dordogne is one of France's most rewarding cycling regions, offering a perfect combination of scenic riding, cultural highlights and excellent food. The region is particularly popular with road cyclists thanks to its quiet lanes, rolling landscapes and varied routes through the Périgord Noir, Vallée de la Dordogne and surrounding countryside. Unlike France's high mountain destinations, cycling in the Dordogne region offers challenging climbs and rewarding descents without the need to tackle long alpine passes.

            What fitness level do I need for a Dordogne cycling holiday?

            A reasonable level of fitness is recommended for a Dordogne cycling tour, as the route includes rolling terrain, climbs and longer days in the saddle. However, you don't need to be a mountain specialist or competitive rider to enjoy the region. Our guided cycling tour is designed for road cyclists and club riders who want to explore the Dordogne at a rewarding but manageable pace. Our detailed trip notes outline daily distances, terrain and difficulty to help you decide if the tour is right for you.

            What makes a guided cycling tour in the Dordogne different?

            A guided tour allows you to experience the best cycling routes in the Dordogne with the reassurance of expert local knowledge. Our guides take care of navigation, share insights into the region and provide support throughout the ride, allowing you to focus your energy on the scenery and cycling.

            When is the best time to cycle the Dordogne?

            Spring and early autumn are excellent times to explore the Dordogne by bike, with comfortable temperatures, quieter roads and beautiful seasonal scenery. Summer also offers long daylight hours and reliable weather, making it a popular time for cycling holidays in the Dordogne.

            Do I need a road bike for this holiday in the Dordogne region?

            A road bike is the best option for our Dordogne cycling tour, helping you enjoy the region's smooth roads, climbs and flowing descents. A lightweight bike with suitable gearing will make the varied terrain more comfortable, particularly on the longer climbs. If you don’t wish to travel with your own road bike you can hire one of ours, making the whole holiday experience simple from beginning to end.

            What one pays for is not having to worry about anything – and Skedaddle does an excellent job taking care of us. We haven’t tried the other tour companies but why bother when Skedaddle is top notch.

            All the services we received were first class. This was a real holiday and going with Skedaddle took all the stress of booking accommodation from home, route planning and so on, so all we had to do was enjoy the cycling. This has been one of the best holidays in my life.

            What do you like most about Skedaddle? Where do I start? The booking process, the hotels, the guides, the lunches, the places they go, the people I meet, the pit stops, the Skedaddle community, reliability, I can put my trust in them to provide a great and memorable experience.

            Skedaddle holidays are always great; you can ride your bike and they pretty much do the rest! Being able to use two wheels as a mode of transport to travel across the country, supported by Skedaddle, just shows the beauty, and power, of bikes. Thank you for making it possible!
