ALONG THE DORDOGNE RIVER, FROM AUVERGNE TO AQUITAINE

Mission preservation

An episode from the series FRENCH HERITAGE JOURNEYS (90MNS)

Synopsis

From the Auvergne region to the estuary near Bordeaux, the Dordogne River runs for almost 500 kilometers. Along the way, it passes through various spectacular landscapes such as a volcano, deep gorges, and cliffs, often little known to the public.

Classified as a "biosphere reserve" by UNESCO, it is the only river in France to hold this prestigious label.

The Dordogne River also boasts exceptional landmarks like perched castles or sumptuous spa buildings.
