It might be too much to do in one day, since it seems like every place that we are wishing to stop at needs at least a whole day to explore around. They all just look amazing. I think I am going to fall in love with the Dordogne!
Also need to run this past Jen and Angus who have just been there to see if what they think and if we have missed anything. There are some caves you go through in a boat that Jen said can't be missed.
I have looked up the cycling trip Jen and Angus did through - http://www.thechaingang.co.uk/publicuser/destination/viewdetail/dordogne
From this I have found a couple of other "not to be missed" things to do:
Riding in a gabore in a traditional river boat at La Roque-Gageau.
Grotte de Lascaux - http://www.lascaux.culture.fr/#/fr/00.xml at Montignac.
Gluges.
The Gouffre de Padirac- http://www.gouffre-de-padirac.com/ which is near Rocamadour.
