Bus travel in the Dordogne region is not a very popular mode of transport. Most tourists prefer the freedom of a car so that they can stop off at any moment and enjoy one of the many villages and hilltop towns that you pass through.
The winding roads of the Dordogne region do not lend themselves to an easy and accessible bus service. There are several companies who operate between the towns but their timetables can be difficult to find and not well suited to tourism.
