Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2008 | The Dordogne River Valley — with its dramatic castles, evocative cave paintings, and prized cuisine — is an unforgettable blend of manmade and natural beauty. We'll take an idyllic canoe ride, and then visit a goose farm and savor the foie gras. We'll also wander through a lamplit castle, enjoy a country market, and visit the Sistine Chapel of the prehistoric world. Then we head south to Albi, home of ToulouseLautrec, and the imposing fortress city of Carcassonne. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #dordogne
