In the article on News from the Dordogne we published the results of a recent survey on typical tourists and visitors to the Dordogne, which said:
A survey has recently highlighted marked differences in approach between members of different nationalities visiting the Dordogne. The British are apparently noted for their fondness for guided tours, whatever the weather, as well as for their fondness for golf. The Germans head for churches and abbeys. Italians, who come principally in August, enjoy château life and the local cuisine. Spaniards, on the other hand, are visitors throughout the year, and immediately seek out the Vesunna museum in Périgueux, whose architect, Jean Nouvel, is a well-known French figure in Spain. Dutch and Belgians resume their native cycling habits and get on their bicycles to explore the countryside.

Churches and Abbeys are the best -- remember, we are right in the heart of the Pilgrimage of Santiago de Compostela Country!
Cyclists and hikers alike love this area as it not only offers interesting and varied routes through some of the most beautiful scenery, but a wide choice of villages and hamlets where they are welcomed and treated warmly and generously. This is also the most beautiful and interesting centre from where to take guided horse riding tours, and as for architecural and historic sites, I can safely say that nowhere in the world is there such a variety of historic, prehistoric and archeological sites.
And then, to stay in and use as your base - or as a home-from-home a little jewel of a chateau, right on the edge of the Dordogne river, you will surely exclaim, as a guest recently did: "I think I have died and gone to heaven!"
