Who is Dordogne Tourisme?
An online guide dedicated to the Périgord
Dordogne Tourisme is an online travel guide specializing in the Dordogne Valley and the Périgord region. Created by a team of local enthusiasts, it now features over 800 listings and 260 vacation ideas, covering the entire region.
Its goal is simple: to make the Dordogne accessible to everyone, whether it’s a first-time visit or a return trip to explore further. The information is presented clearly, organized by theme or geographic area, and updated regularly.
An interactive map lets you quickly see what’s around you from your current location—handy when you want to plan a day out from the campground.
Guy Guide, the Périgord’s AI chatbot
Dordogne Tourisme has developed Guy Guide, an AI-powered chatbot. It answers your questions about the region in real time: what to do with kids on a rainy Sunday, where to find a restaurant serving traditional Périgord cuisine near Sarlat, which trail to take for a one-hour walk… Just ask your question, and Guy Guide will point you in the right direction.
What you'll find on dordognetourisme.com
The 25 Most Beautiful Villages in the Dordogne and Lot
This is one of the site’s flagship sections: a selection of the 25 most remarkable villages in the Dordogne and neighboring Lot. Domme, La Roque-Gageac, Beynac-et-Cazenac… names that take on a whole new meaning when discovered from the river or on foot, as you wander down a cobblestone alley.
From Le Capeyrou, Sarlat-la-Canéda is about a ten-minute drive away —a truly exceptional medieval town, perfect for a leisurely morning stroll. Several of the villages on the list are within a thirty- to forty-minute drive, and some can easily be combined into a single day of exploration.
Attractions, recreation, shops, and restaurants in the Périgord Noir
The site also lists attractions and recreational activities, local shops, and restaurants in the Périgord Noir. Whether you want to visit the prehistoric caves of Lascaux IV or Rouffignac, explore the gardens of Marqueyssac, or simply find a local producer to buy truffles or Périgord walnuts, the information is right here, organized and easy to find.
The castles of Beynac and Castelnaud, situated across from each other on either side of the Dordogne River, are also among the recommendations—two must-see sites less than twenty minutes from the campground.
Bike paths and greenways in the Dordogne Valley
We know that many of our visitors explore the region by bike. Dordogne Tourisme has a section dedicated to the valley’s bike paths and greenways. The routes are described along with their key features, so you can choose based on your skill level and preferences—whether it’s a leisurely family outing or a beautiful day of cycling along the river.
Why we chose this partner
We don’t recommend a site simply because it exists. Dordogne Tourisme shares some values that are important to us: the region’s authenticity, showcasing what makes the Périgord unique, and a commitment to accessibility—giving everyone the opportunity to have an authentic experience without having to search for hours.
The content is created by people who know the region inside out, and the site is updated regularly. It’s the kind of resource we’d want to consult ourselves before setting off.
