The stretch of the Dordogne flowing from Puy de Sancy to the edges of Périgord is its least well known, and home to some of its best-kept secrets. From Auvergne's volcanoes to the sheer cliff faces of the Causses, from deep gorges to meanders scattered with untamed islands and pebble beaches... the boundless variety of the surrounding landscape is a wonder to behold, and the sheer diversity of the architecture never ceases to amaze. Superbly illustrated with photographs and original drawings and sprinkled with fascinating profiles of local people, this travelogue gives an account of our journey along a still-vibrant river - a journey lasting several months and packed full of excitement, wonderful encounters and unexpected discoveries.
