We found this treasure in 2008, and have returned regularly since! We have just booked our accomodation for this years holiday and I can’t wait! La Salvetat is a wonderfully relaxing and refreshing place. And yet close enough to lots of activities if you want an active holiday. The food is fantastic and Ann and Steve do lots to make sure that your holiday is all that you want it to be!

Dordogne France travel and tourism
The Dordogne region of South-West France is one of the most beautiful and popular destinations in the country. Visit this beautiful region of France and discover the chateaux, beautiful medieval towns and villages, unspoiled countryside and prehistoric caves – just some of the many reasons why the region attracts visitors.
Tourism
There are many ‘famous sights’ that we associate with the Dordogne, including Lascaux caves, Marqueyssac gardens, medieval Sarlat, castles such as Chateau Castelnaud and the prehistoric caves in the Vezere Valley.
Yet it is the places that you visit outside these ‘hot-spots’ that will stay longest in your memory – the scenery, the peace, the coffee in a small cafe, the picnic next to a stream. The Dordogne is beautiful in the same way as the Cotswolds or Tuscany are beautiful – the way it simply makes you want to stay forever enjoying the quiet, the countryside, the scenery…
Some of the other best known highlights include the gouffre de Padirac caves and canoeing the Dordogne, with the most popular towns and villages including Bergerac, Beynac, Excideuil, La Roque-Gageac, Le Bugue, Riberac and Rocamadour.
The Dordogne Valley usually refers to the path followed by the river, and is towards the south of the department where it travels from east to west, passing through Bergerac and many of the other popular villages. The more northerly half of the department is quite a way from the river – but tourism in the department certainly doesn’t start and end with the river – be sure to venture north and south a little to discover the quiet but equally beautiful regions a little more hidden from the public gaze…

Dordogne holidays and travel
There are easy travel links by road and train to the Dordogne region of France from the UK and mainland Europe, many flights (including low cost airlines operating to Bergerac) and also international flights from more faraway places that arrive into Bordeaux airport.

Visit Marqueyssac
The Belvedere of the Dordogne
Just a short drive from Auberge de La Salvetat, our hotel in the stunning Dordogne Perigord Noir, the Hanging Gardens of Marqueyssac are a ‘must see’ and is just one of many gardens to visit in the region.
From the Belvedere (or roof-top view) of the Dordogne, 130m above the river, an exceptional panoramic view opens up over Domme, Roque-Gageac and Saint-Julien de Cenac villages, Castelnaud Castle and above the spur of Marqueyssac a view stretching 10 kilometers framed by the Châteaux of Fayrac and Beynac.
Overcome by a sense of space and beauty, one can understand why the Perigord continues to enchant so many travellers.
Visiting Marqueyssac to see the Périgord
Romantic because of its cliffs and its surrounding fortresses, Mediterranean because of its vegetation and the Italian inspired belvederes, terraces, and green areas, Marqueyssac surprises and seduces. It is also a place of discovery and learning. The history of the villages and the castles, the landscape and nature are told through the guide books and by the illustrated texts found along the walkways. Powerful telescopes enable you to appreciate every detail of the landscape.
The Périgord is concentrated in Marqueyssac and everyone can see or touch and learn about nature, the plants and the animals. So, for those who want to discover in one single place all the treasures and delights of the Périgord, there is no other like Marqueyssac.

Tripadvisor 2014 Review Hotel in Dordogne
Cycling in the historic Dordogne
via Tripadvisor
If you are interested in cycling in the Dordogne in the region near the small medieval village of Cadouin, this beautiful country inn is one of the best hotels in the Dordogne Perigord Noir area. Salvetat is owned by Steve and Anne Jordan and guests benefit from their personal touch.
Steve is the consummate host and his staff demonstrate the same attention to service. You will find Anne in the kitchen working her culinary magic alongside their French chef. The Inn also has a fine selection of wines. You may want to try the local rosée Julien de Savignac, a Bergerac wine.
There are several choices of accommodation. We chose the garden room with access to a small patio and the garden beyond. It was comfortable and clean with a spacious bathroom. We were able to lock our bikes away out of the elements.
Our week’s stay was punctuated by rainy days and it was lovely to arrive in the dining-room to a fire burning in the hearth. As has been mentioned by other reviewers, the dinners were worthy of the best restaurants and the breakfast was plentiful.
Do not hesitate to opt for the full board, you will not be disappointed. This small country inn deserves the accolades that it has received on Trip Advisor.
