Bordeaux and Dordogne Regions - 9 Days | 8 Nights
Savor the fine wines of Bordeaux and immerse yourself in the Dordogne region in Sarlat-la-Canéda on a one-of-a-kind sojourn. Spend two nights in the UNESCO-designated port city of Bordeaux to explore its ancient history and the influence it had on the renowned wine region. Enjoy lunch in the vineyards of the UNESCO-designated jurisdiction of Saint-Émilion in the Nouvelle Aquitaine region as you travel to the medieval village of Sarlat-la-Canéda, where you will spend five additional nights. Discover Dordogne’s remarkable prehistory with an excursion to Les Eyzies de Tayac-Sireuil, where the first known bones of homo sapiens were revealed, and the UNESCO World Heritage site of l’Abri du Cap-Blanc, a prehistoric rock shelter where you can see friezes that date back more than 12,000 years. You may also marvel at the perfectly reproduced cave art at Lascaux and Rouffignac — “Cave of a Hundred Mammoths” — and visit the impressive, fortified Château de Beynac on this journey to remember.
