The best travel experience of 2019 was lunch at Le Chalet on the banks of the Dordogne River in Pont de Vitrac 24250 Domme. The food and service at this Brasserie and Snack Bar are excellent! There is the added bonus of watching canoes on the river and families on the beach. The cliffs immediately in front of the restaurant are awe inspiring! One of my favourite places on Earth!

This is the perfect way to view the villages along the river. Even though you will be told you can do the journey from Vitrac in 3 hours allow at least 4 (we took 5!) then you can really enjoy the scenery and allow the river to take you along. Take your picnic and stop on one of the many 'beaches'. We saw so many kingfishers too. Choose a warm day and don't forget your sunscreen. A really special day!
