Dordogne Valley Ride.m4v

If you enjoy natural beauty and the finer aspects of life, then this ride is for you! The Dordogne is an area of outstanding natural beauty, not dissimilar to Tuscany. It is truly rural France at its best. The world famous vineyards of Medoc and Saint Emilion are close by and the local wines of Bergerac, Pecharmant, Montbazillac and Cahors are also excellent. The area is rich in pageantry. During the Middle Ages, the English ruled Aquitaine and left behind many castles, bastide towns and fortified churches. The region is also one of the gastronomic centres of France, famous for foie gras, duck, truffles, mushrooms and seafood. You will ride through picturesque private estates in France's south-western region. A setting of thick forests, hidden valleys, vineyards and meadows are yours to enjoy relaxing walks, long energetic trots and exciting canters. During the ride, you will come across no other horses or rides and hardly a gate to open all day long. Freshly prepared lunches and Bergerac wine will be served in the grounds of, or inside, impressive chateaus. Visit our website at www.highpointetours.com!
