Dordogne, Lot & Quercy , very light cycling tours

Find the path of the river Dordogne in the Quercy of  Lot department alternated with the Causse du Quercy, a smooth limestone plateau with open scenery on top of the causse. Not as polished as the scenery of the Dordogne department.
Rocamadour, the second tourist attraction of France with its beautiful small canyon of the Gorge de l'Ouysse and the beautiful Dordogne valley provide the scenery for a quiet biking tour.
