Dordogne Experience

Do you know why the ewes of the Causse have black circles around their eyes? 🐑
If legend is to be believed, a shepherd once had the idea of protecting his flock's eyes from the sun. Indeed his animals were suffering from the intensity of the light on the arid plateaus of the Causses du Quercy ☀️ He took a piece of coal and drew a black circle around their eyes.
Little by little, the lambs began to be born like this, protected from the sun by their "black glasses" 😎
Today, they graze peacefully in the shade of the oaks, on a stony land with a small typical heritage made of old barns and dry stone walls.

Medieval legends echo through the centuries with tales of brave knights and magical swords...✨

Excalibur had its French counterpart. Named "Durandal", the legendary sword belonged to Roland, the nephew of King Charlemagne 🗡 🛡

Roland was a fierce knight. When fighting a losing battle against the Saracens, he tried to break his sword on a rock so it wouldn't fall into enemy hands. So strong was the blade that the boulder broke in half but Durandal stayed intact. Desperate, Roland begged for divine intervention and threw the sword toward the sky...⚔️

Durandal then miraculously flew 200 miles to land in Rocamadour, where you can still see it today planted in the rock above the chapel Notre Dame 😮

It's wonderful to have our guests back and enjoying the stunning Dordogne region. The following is from our first clients on our cycle tour.

"Thank you Keith for forwarding this email. I will forward it to my kids too so they can write reviews. We loved the hotel Le Cro Magnon!

We had the greatest trip! We loved your bike routes and all the hotels. Such a beautiful area with so many picturesque villages and so much to do.

It ended up being easy to get a covid test in Paris. We went to a pharmacy and just walked in and got tested. We had the results in an hour.

Thank you for an amazing Dordogne Experience!"
