Lot and Dordogne line Toulouse – Brive Dordogne Valley
A getaway journey into nature.
Bye bye animated streets and squares of Toulouse! The train is waiting to take you slowly to green-clad horizons, all the way to the peaceful heart of the Corrèze.
On the way ... the orange bricks of Montauban, the white stone of Caussade, which turns ecru in Cahors and a golden brown in Souillac.
Your retinas will be saturated with colours as you travel from one river to the other, from the Lot to the Dordogne.
Nature there is beautiful, wild ... rife with possibilities.
Hiking, mountain biking, canoeing down the Dordogne: why not take it easy and enjoy the great opportunities offered by this train journey?
