            The Dordogne River Valley--with its dramatic castles, evocative cave paintings, and prized cuisine -- is an unforgettable blend of man-made 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 lamp-lit castle, enjoy a country market, and visit the Sistine Chapel of the prehistoric world.
