WHERE IS THE DORDOGNE?
The Dordogne, formerly known as Perigord is a region located in south west France. Getting to the Dordogne region is easier than you might think, with multiple travel options available. Whether you wish to keep the driving down by flying into one of our regional airports picking up a hire car, bringing your own car with you across from the UK by taking the ferry or channel tunnel, or even arriving by train and collecting a hire car from a local supermarket. Our guests regularly use all of these options and visit us from all over the world.
