SARLAT & RIVER CRUISE
Excursion to Sarlat, one of the most famous towns in the Dordogne region. It’s old town dates back to medieval and renaissance times and is a delight to visit. From here we enjoy a relaxing cruise on the River Dordogne, to take in the breath-taking scenery.

CHÂTEAU DE TURENNE
We take a scenic drive to visit the Château de Turenne, which enjoys a striking location on top of the hill of one of France’s most beautiful villages. You can appreciate a breath-taking 360° view from the top of César Tower, accessed by a spiral staircase. There will be time to explore Rocamadour once more this afternoon.
