- Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2008 | The Dordogne River Valley - with its dramatic castles, evocative cave paintings, and prized cuisine - is an unforgettable blend of man-made and natural beauty. We'll take an idyllic canoe ride, and then visit a goose farm and savor the foie gras. We'll also wander through a lamp-lit castle, enjoy a country market, and visit the Sistine Chapel of the prehistoric world. Then we head south to Albi, home of Toulouse-Lautrec, and the imposing fortress city of Carcassonne. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #dordogne
Europe is the best place in world
Rick lives about 10 miles from my house. His shows what got me really into history and European travel.... I Had no idea that I’d been watching his show for 27 years and he was just up the road.
Have you ever met RIck in person?
Tell him I think he's great!
10 miles isn't just up the road but yeah haha
Bonjour de Allemagne Monsieur Rick Steves merci beaucoup pour votre belle vidéos de France.
France & Germany = Friendship forever !
Europe is the paradise in this world. Especially, France... how gorgeous she is. Love from India.
Aneesh T aano??..
Compared to India, everywhere is Paradise
@@DoomCycle LOL
You are right,Europe is the wonder of this world and needs to be protected!
@@DoomCycle - *Compared to the UK anywhere in Europe is paradise*
a country and the most beautiful in the world when it brings together everything that makes people happy... wine gastronomy museum monuments culture landscape history climate sea mountain fashion and only France and Italy bring it all together
+China and Japan
Rick is the Bob Ross of travel.
J'adore la Dordogne mais surtout son fleuve, c'est l'une des plus belles régions de France ! Merci pour le Partage! ....
France, Italy, and Spain are by far some of the most beautiful countries in the world.
Thanks to Roman culture
Treki not only, the Loire Valley for example
With deutchland 😉
Not even close. You are kidding right. Albania is by far the most beautiful country in the world. Second is Armenia. And the third is Senegal. Everything else is just far away in beauty compared to these 3.
@@nebojsa1976 lol..lol..lol..lol..
Can I have a life like Rick's 😔😔
Lol, we wish!
There are so many things to visit and to do in this magnificent region: the hundreds of medieval castles, the villages of remarkable beauty, and most of all, the incomparable gastronomy.
Do you live in France? If so, you're very lucky.
@@PlannedObsolescence and for you - especially - one of the highest concentration of paleolithic archeological sites worldwide.
Great Work by Rick Steves. Europe is full of Majestic Scenery and wonderful History. I love Europe. Especially France.
Rick Steve's and France are fantastic. Foie Gras is inhumane.
m j 👍💯🕊
Yes horrible. Stuff like this inhumane treatment takes away enjoyment of everything else.
@@MegaLivingIt where the hack do you see an inhumane treatment ?
Yes, it's inhumane all right. Human beings shouldn't lower themselves to cause suffering to fellow creatures on farms and I find it disappointing that pâté de foie gras can be mentioned in passing in a frivolous way that seems to quite approve of it.
Glancing down at more comments i think there's going to be more about foie gras on this documentary with someone trying to justify it. I already know how it's produced. Sadly, I can't bear to watch more of this otherwise very good documentary.
France Explained Beautifully
Very enjoyable, great video of an amazing region of France. Thanks Rick.
I was born in Dordogne. I tried to live somewhere else once. I came back.
Wish I could speak French . I've always wanted to go to Europe the houses are beautiful.
I'm from Albi and it's 3 hours away from Dordogne, and Carcassonne is 2 hours away from here. These places are not close at all, actually it's not even the same region (Albi and Carcassonne are in Occitanie, la Dordogne is in Nouvelle-Aquitaine). If you go to Dordogne I would suggest you to visit villages in Lot/Corrèze instead, it's closer.
Je suis bien d'accord avec vous, mais pour un Américain, trois heures de voiture, c'est la porte à côté! Ce journaliste dit que la France a la taille du Texas. Rouler trois heures au Texas ne change pas grand chose au paysage et à l'architecture rencontrés... pour eux, les châteaux médiévaux se ressemblent tous et nos différences régionales sont un peu ridicules. J'espère quand même que cette émission aura convaincue les outrés du gavage des oies que ces volatiles ont une vie bien plus agréable que leurs poulets de batterie...
I love the city of Albi. France is such a wonderful country to visit. I live in Australia and have to fly for hours to get there, but so worth it. Blessings France.🇫🇷❤️
@@marlanesimpson1439 I'm so glad you like our country! Don't hesitate if you need any travel tips or suggestions of places to visit to ask me. Have a good trip xx
Wow! I did that exact trip about 20 years ago now; but it also included, Domme, le Gorge de Padirac, Cahors, Rocamadour, and Toulouse. Loved canoeing on the Dordogne. It was magical. Fell in love with France then and there. As well, discovered the home of my ancesters who live and lived in the region.
I'd pay 100k to travel the world with Rick Steves as my tour guide (and that fee would also cover all the help of his "friends" that he seems to have in virtually every country).
Pay me 10K dollars I will cook for you
Centuries old iron strong castles and French architecture will tell you , why they are century ahead in fashion The French.
Absolutely one of the coolest fortresses in Europe .
Thank you Rick showing Europe.. we can't effort to see Europe but your doing possible for us in our home..
Studing about Lascaux. Came to see Dordogne! Beautiful Place!!
Marisa from Brasil 😘
Fly away little geese! Fly away!
l agree! the owner of this farm insists that putting the tube down the goose`s throat is humane and does NOT hurt !!! Really ??? How does she know ! ! l`m sure if someone shoved a tube down HER throat she might have a different view !!! l love France but NOT this cruel practice.
@@karenmedler9454 Dordogne citizen here and I agree with you! These practices aren't humane at all and hurt the geese. The force-feeding, as it literally tells, is not natural for them. Geese do stock up for their trip yes, but not to this point. Their livers get a tiny bit bigger but they for sure don't look like the ones you can buy on markets. I'm proud of my region but not of geese foie gras.
been to the dordogne like 5 times in my life. great, beautiful place. it really is as nice as the video says.
Not sure the farmer’s reasoning that force feeding is somehow the same as natural energy stocking really makes sense, or justifies the practice...... otherwise they wouldn’t need to force feed the geese.
And because the geese don’t fly, they don’t ever work off the fat. I can’t imagine that doesn’t lead to some kind of health issue and discomfort.
Finally, I appreciate that she seems to provide a relatively pleasant life for her geese (aside from the force feeding and eventual slaughter, of course), but I’m sure there are also froie gras farmers who are less ethical and less concerned with with their geese’s comfort...... I’ve seen videos of geese too fat to stand up and were basically confined to their pen... sometimes getting attacked by rats, without being able to even turn around to defend themselves.
No siree, NO foie gras for me, thank you very much.
France the only museum country! And many people don't know that, but France, besides chateaux and fine towns, has a rich wildlife and outstanding overseas islands...!
Italy as well
Only? Italy has the most number of UNESCO world heritage sites. Fact.
Wrong!
@@seannaamani121 f
@@fari7535 That doesn't mean much. I live in a town in the south of France where there are the best preserved Roman arenas in the world, a very well preserved Roman temple as well and an old tower that used to be Gallic, and none of these monuments are unesco, even despite our many requests...
Heavenly beautiful, i enjoyed so much watching this,and your other travel adventures 👍💚
I enjoy all of your videos but this one was so heavenly... I think this is the word that sums it up. I will definitely come back to watch again!
everything in this documentary looks so incredibly nice. thanks for the great insight as usual mr. steve
"France 🇫🇷🇫🇷is truly one of the most beautiful countries in the world truly blessed ones it's one of my favorite European countries that I want to both visit and live in someday coming from the Philippines.?!"
Beautiful! Great Work. Visited all prehistoric sites While studying at Natural History Museum Paris. Biggest regret was I haven't had a camera only mental images. But this refreshed my memories and I wish to go back there if God allows. Thanks Rick Steve
Such incredible videos Rick Steeves! Much love from Canada!!!
Rick,
I wish I hadn't seen this video!
We visited Paris and the Loire River Valley in mid-May of 1999 using your travelogue and guide books. A PERFECT two week trip of a lifetime thanks to you!
Now, after enjoying this, I really wish I could go back again!
Thanks
I live near dordogne and made a tour at beynac last year, its so amazing. All the dordogne valley is renown and fame for his beauty
Thanks for the videos and the wonderful experience.
Merci beaucoup, Rick car je redecouvre la region où mes parents se sont installés pour leur retraite... Ils venaient de Normandie ! Ils nous ont fait découvrir toute cette magnifique region et franchement j'ai bien compris leur choix... Moi, je suis entre Nantes et Angers sur la Loire ! On y est très bien également... BRAVO pour votre vidéo !!!
Traffic free ❤ beautiful rustic life ❤ cute dehati babies...... luving it
Gorgeous videos, keep on travelling Rick, love from Belgium.
Every people with French descent should come visit France at least 1 time in his life and the French from every regions are waiting for you all , we will welcome you like princes , we are tired of foreigners ... ❤️❤️🇫🇷⚜️

Very beautiful place. Thanks for this video sir.
beautiful!! watching in 2020 and much appreciated!!
A great river the Dordogne river areas great cathedral looks like the medieval, times.Tolous Letreck a great artist to view .
The French are probably the only race who really fully understand and appreciate all the gifts bestowed on them by nature and are uniquely able to utilize them to turn living into an art!
lol
Race ?? 🫣
They must not fully understand it if they're so quick to destroy it.
@@Lostouille😂

I wish I could go through Europe as soon as possible.
Did you go to Europe yet?
@@elise4310 Never
Thanks &or this programme Rick
A nice country
Wonderful , obrigada .
In France not only Paris Tour Eiffel exist...
Beynac was the site for several scenes in the movie Chocolat.
Picturesque portrayal
Good show.🆒👋🍓
AMAZING
Enjoy.
Thanks Chris L.
Thanks Susan.
I love this dude
Rick is so cool
Excellent🍎 I really appreciate how these areas are featured. The 🎶 music is nice too🇫🇷
Lovely..it s a region I have yet to visit. Have just been to Carcassonne...a lovely town with friendly people...the Gendarmes helped me find my Hotel...C est tranquille...lol
i will live here oneday
The beauty
Very recommendable
00:45 Lol paddling absolutely nowhere just for the shot
excellent
فرنسا جميلة جدا
It is beautiful, so are Australia, New Zealand and Canada
And all countries. I don't get the point of your comment.
The map at the beginning is super off, as Beynac-et-Cazenac and Sarlat are really close, about 7 km away. On the map it looks like you put Beynac where Bergerac is ( 60 KM from Sarlat). But nice documentary. It’s my home state. I ve been around the world and it’s still my favorite place.
Sarlat a lovely village plenty of beer and foisgrass. Just seat down relax enjoy is fantastic. The atmosphere enchanting
Wow
Bücher Feenkiste hi
Love your videos . Any plans to visit Africa and specifically South Africa and Cape Town ???
I seriously doubt Charlemagne "laid seige to this place" at Carcassonne - at least not those walls - - since he lived about 400 years earlier!
You know that a fort has existed here since Gallo-Roman times ?
Canoe pub crawl! Sold!
The best
Algún día conoceré Italia, Fr ancia, España, Inglaterra,Alemania,etc
te recomiendo Mexico
This is actually Provence region -- my dream land., My wish is to settle down there one day, buy stone cottage and peace of land and grow lavender and grapes...,
Provence is further east, north of Marseille
No, it is the Dordogne !
It's "le Périgord Noir" the most beautiful part of Dordogne
Dordogne's house are really price. It's a really good investment. I know some agencies who sell such beautiful houses for a cheap price.
@@whiterabbit9131 Is Dordogne part of Provence or it is separate region?? And where exactly starts and ends Provence? From where to where?
Hey, rick steves does better than most americans who only speak a funny english, that said, yes his french, italian, german is ever so slightly painful. I expect very little for eastern and northern languages.
Lascaux caves or cro magnon? I only have time to visit one and want to see the better one
Raul Romero, rincones hermosos de Francia.Un pais maravilloso como Ecuador
Thank you father God for watching my blood and saving my life and for not hiding your face from me.
