This section is the least attractive part of the ride (unless you decide to pop into Sarlat to start, an early morning trip into the town for the fabulous Wednesday or Saturday market will beat the crowds!)Ĭontinue on the D57 until you reach the large roundabout and take the second exit (bearing left) to Vitrac along the D46.
Continue straight over the next three roundabouts, and then turn left onto the D57 at the fourth roundabout, heading in the direction of Bergerac.
This is on the way out of Sarlat in the direction of Cahors, on the D704.Īs the route returns along the 'voie verte', cycle out of the car park and join the D704 heading west, back towards Sarlat. The car park is located facing the Stade de Madrazes rugby stadium – on the opposite of the roundabout. Sarlat is a perfect hub/base from which to enjoy the area, being located centrally to a lot of the Dordogne and also giving access to the Vezere Valley's attractions. The route starts at the car park for the 'voie verte' cycle path located at the medieval town of Sarlat-La-Canéda.
#BIKE RIDING FRANCE DORDOGNE RIVER SARLOT FULL#
This route is just under 60km and takes in some of the best that the Dordogne Valley and the Perigord Noir have to offer.Īt an easy pace it's 3 to 4 hours in the saddle, so if a full day out is planned, it should leave plenty of time for stops to see the sites, enjoy the local gourmet food or sample a pichet of local wine.
Thanks to local cyclist Jason Hargreaves for mapping it for us. A leisurely 60km circular bike ride from Sarlat in the Dordogne that takes in a mind-boggling 10 chateaux.
