Walking Dordogne takes you Underground

April 29, 2009

blue-trans Walking Dordogne is extremely excited with the launch of their new, exciting and unique tour ” Going Underground”

We have spent 2 years exploring the caves, and beyond. “Going Underground” is NOT a “Potholing” adventure, but an adventure for the hikers that want to experience another world underground.
These caves, chambers and tunnels have been used for 1000’s of years, and they played an extremely important role during the Second World War, where they were used by the French Resistance.

This adventure is suitable for most people, but requires a high level of fitness, the ability to clamber, and not claustrophobic.

B&B Ferme de Tayac

November 11, 2007

B&B Ferme de Tayac. The most loved and talked about B&B in the Dordogne. Ferme de Tayac, a beautiful 12th century former farmhouse / monastery situated next to St. Martin, the fortified church of the lovely peaceful village Tayac, and 1km from Les Eyzies known as the “Prehistoric Capital” of the world.
For hundreds of years Ferme de Tayac was worked by the Monks, and with all of it’s authentic buildings,ruins, rooms carved into the rock, meter thick fortified walls and original oak beam construction, it’s no wonder that Ferme de Tayac is a much loved and talked about B&B.
The bedrooms at “Ferme de Tayac” are former Monks quarters, all with lovely peaceful views of the valley and the many Prehistoric dwellings in the cliffs rock face.
The Vezere valley in the “Black Perigord”,where Ferme de Tayac is situated is known to be the most beautiful region of France,and with more than 250 UNESCO sites, has earned title of being the Prehistoric Capital of the World.
B&B Ferme de Tayac is the ideal place to stay whilst exploring and enjoying everything this amazingly beautiful area has to offer. All the main attractions (and there are LOTS of them) are within 20 minutes from Ferme de Tayac, some are even in walking distance, and one of them is Ferme de Tayac.
