FRANCE FOR SINGLES

From time to time, it is nice to know that there is a place where you are sure to find the real beauty of the world. The rivers, chāteaux, the clean air and fine food (in the Dordogne region) are an added advantage (The Best of Perigord-Dordogne website).

Comfortable Hiking Holidays has teamed up with Meet Market Adventures to bring you a taste of France. Join other Adventurous Singles for a fun filled vacation of a lifetime. The River Dordogne gives its name to perhaps the most romantic region of SW France: a richly varied landscape of prehistoric cave dwellings, feudal chateaux, fortified towns and rustic farmhouses set amid fields of vibrant wildflowers and neverending birdsong. In the heart of the area is Sarlat whose medieval "old town" has a truly remarkable architectural heritage. The honey-coloured stone of the 1000 year-old buildings, churches and squares, the gas lighting and complete lack of overhead wires make it a photographer's paradise. Dinner each evening will be in one of the fine restaurants in the old town. Included in our hikes in the surrounding countryside will be guided tours of 2 chateaux (one by the chateau owner) and a visit to the magnificent sculptured gardens of the Marqueyssac. As this is Bordeaux wine country, one day will be spent sampling the products of some of the many family wineries that encircle nearby Bergerac. On the non-hiking day, you could visit the cave paintings of Lascaux II, the pilgrimage town of Rocmadour and the gorge and grotto of Padirac. Our hotel is the modern, air-conditioned HOTEL DE SELVES. Built around landscaped gardens with an indoor-outdoor pool and sauna, it is ideally situated just 5 minutes walk from the old town.
