Signature: Bordeaux & Dordogne, Cradle of Prehistory
Southwest France holds some of humanity's oldest secrets and finest pleasures side by side. Trace prehistoric masterpieces through the caves of the Dordogne, raise a glass in the celebrated cellars of Bordeaux, and lose yourself in the terracotta warmth of Toulouse - a region as rich in history as it is in culture.
Highlights
At the Castle Merle site join owner for a prehistoric meal and private exploration of ancient rock shelters, Discover the "Sistine Chapel of Prehistory" with a guided tour of this immersive cave replica at Lascaux IV, Victor Hugo market visit savouring regional flavours during a lunch amidst the vibrant energy of the local market in Toulouse, Visit Café Joyeux a pioneering community coffee shop supporting employment for those with disabilities.
Group Leader
All National Geographic Signature group trips are accompanied by one of our National Geographic Expedition Leaders throughout. The aim of the Expedition Leaders is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting- we think it's the best of both worlds.
