Scenic Dordogne was formed in 2007. Our goal is to promote the beauty the Dordogne has to offer, not with just words, but with real photos.

The Dordogne is a region of Aquitaine, France. Dordogne is one of France's best-kept secrets.

Castles, chateaux, and other important historical museums are sprinkled throughout the region, offering enough historical interest for any aficionado, but attractively distributed throughout a breath-taking scenery that needs no scholarly tendencies to enjoy it.

While long a favorite with visitors, the region has escaped much of the overdevelopment of some of France's other regions

• Visitors from around the world flock to see the prehistoric caves of Lascaux, thought by many scholars to be the world's best.

• A wealth of story-book chateaux as Losse, Beynac, a lovely countryside, dotted by the golden stone houses native to this region, makes Dordogne seem a little like a cross between a fairy tale and a movie set.

• The legendary stone villages of Dordogne, including Monpazier, Rocamadour, Domme and La Roque Gageac, are unforgettably picturesque. The market of Sarlat-le Caneda is just one of many remarkable markets in the area, but this is one that is truly a shopper's dream come true.
