Acknowledgements

It is a daunting task to revise a guidebook when the original author is no longer present to share her skills and experience. Fortunately Janette left us perfect records, as well as wonderful memories, making it a pleasure to pick up her legacy. Even so, we would not have managed without several friends who enthusiastically re-visited some of the trails, providing text updates, GPS traces and brilliant new photographs.

We are especially indebted to Alexa Stace, who lives near Gourdon and is our main contact in the Dordogne. Brimming with energy, she was helped by a local team of international co-walkers for this new edition: Anni Struthers, Ton Vervoort, Molly Meyer, Marie-Luce Berger and Neill Montgomery. Thanks to them all, with a special mention for Fanny – Molly’s dog and the most experienced of our local guides!

Special thanks also to our stalwart friends from the Geneva area: Rosemary Westermeyer, William Westermeyer, Carol Saynor and Richard Saynor. While they were busy with high routes for the Haute Savoie guides, they still found time to check trails and take photos in the Dordogne, a very different walking paradise.

It is a pleasure to work with Cicerone, a very special company: cosily small, efficient and demanding when needed, but above all human and understanding when it matters most.

Finally, we are extremely grateful for the information provided by the various tourist offices in the Dordogne.

Updates to this Guide

While every effort is made by our authors to ensure the accuracy of guidebooks as they go to print, changes can occur during the lifetime of an edition. Any updates that we know of for this guide will be on the Cicerone website (www.cicerone.co.uk/843/updates), so please check before planning your trip. We also advise that you check information about such things as transport, accommodation and shops locally. Even rights of way can be altered over time.

The route maps in this guide are derived from publicly-available data, databases and crowd-sourced data. As such they have not been through the detailed checking procedures that would generally be applied to a published map from an official mapping agency, although naturally we have reviewed them closely in the light of local knowledge as part of the preparation of this guide.

We are always grateful for information about any discrepancies between a guidebook and the facts on the ground, sent by email to updates@cicerone.co.uk or by post to Cicerone, Juniper House, Murley Moss, Oxenholme Road, Kendal, LA9 7RL.
