The tour continues to Sarlat and the Dordogne Valley, with visits to a truffle farm and hilltop bastides like Domme. Walks are mostly gentle but varied, with quiet countryside trails and some climbs offering views over limestone cliffs and the Dordogne River. Rocamadour’s pilgrimage town is another highlight, a compact place clinging to a cliff face, where narrow streets and the Alzou Valley provide a distinct backdrop to an included meal.

There’s a relaxed balance of guided walks and free time, with plenty of local produce to sample—from Atlantic oysters in Bordeaux to duck in Sarlat. The final morning transfer to Toulouse wraps up a trip that threads through accessible landscapes and centuries of history, without rushing.
