The Dordogne, the ideal place for beautiful bike rides

A historic department renowned for its caves, medieval remains and fortified villages, the Dordogne is also a dream destination for cyclists. Indeed, it is full of road circuits and marked trails that you can take by road bike or mountain bike, with family, friends or alone. In addition, by bike, you can admire the landscape, its diversity and enjoy spectacular panoramas while taking a ride in the heart of nature.

Un département propice à la pratique du cyclisme

With its greenways, its rather quiet secondary roads and its circuits, the Dordogne offers enthusiasts numerous cycling routes. During your walks, you can contemplate the valley, the castles and take a deep breath of fresh air. Along the waterways, numerous trails have been created. On the other hand, be careful because some routes are in the private domain. So you have to pay attention to the markings so as not to travel on a resident’s property. Numbers and colors have been assigned to each route. So, with just a glance you can assess the degree of difficulty.

Many routes to discover by bike

In the department, cycle tourism is particularly developed. Hikes are organized throughout the year by associations and clubs. But during your stay, nothing prevents you from exploring the Dordogne alone or with your loved ones. For your mountain bike rides, you have the right to use road bikes, paths in the countryside and in the woods and greenways such as that from Sarlat to Cazoules and the one that runs along the Isle valley. Of course, it is also possible to travel on the main roads but you must be extra careful, especially in summer.
