Guidebook to 35 half-day and day walks in France's beautiful Dordogne region, based around Bergerac, Lalinde, Sarlat and Souillac (Lot). The walks, which range from 6 to 18.5km, take in the region's myriad delights, from spectacular gorges to enchanting chateaux and charming medieval villages. All walks are within the capacity of the average walker, and are on well-marked paths or quiet roads. They are graded easy or medium; there are no long, steep climbs or abrupt descents. There are step-by-step descriptions and maps for each route. Also included is information on the history, flora and fauna of the region, together with practical pointers such as what to take and when to go, as well as notes on waymarking, accommodation and transport. A route summary table and glossary are also provided. Lying in south west France, the Dordogne is a land of great scenic variety, from rolling wooded hills and fertile valleys to barren upland plateaus and limestone cliffs riddled with caves. The charm of the Dordogne also lies in the picturesque medieval towns, chateaux, churches and abbeys that stud the landscape, and these are the focus of many of the walks.

Everyone has questionable pasts they'd rather no one knew about and such is the case for best friends- Cat, Liz, Celeste, Tangie, and Vanessa. If they had their way, their shocking and dishonorable pasts would stay buried deep beneath the innocent but misguided smiles. They all have scandalous and shameful things lingering in their pasts and soon they'll find out the "apple" hasn't fallen too far from the "tree." Not only are they battling their own demons, but also those from generations past and they'll soon run smack dab into the hidden, less than desirable pasts of their parents. The threat of exposure sends everyone scrambling for secrecy as questions arise concerning their dark family histories. Everyone struggles to keep their skeletons in the closet, but apart from acknowledging and exposing the secrets, repetition is inevitable and the generations to come are destined for destruction. What they don't know can not only hurt them, but it can kill them.

Best friend's forever- that's Liz, Tangie, Celeste, and Cat. Growing up together in a small town just outside of Charlotte didn't prepare them for the horrible, life-altering events they would soon face together. Their lives took them in opposite directions after high school, but an untimely death brings about an unforeseen reunion that exposes untold truths, deep dark secrets, and uncovers "friendly" betrayal. They once believed their bond was strong enough to survive anything, but overcoming the obstacles and roadblocks life has thrown their way will prove utterly impossible apart from confessing what they've each been hiding from one another. Confessing the very secrets and lies they've held on to so tightly is the price each must pay to keep their friendship intact. Will their confessions fuse their friendship together even tighter, or will it explode in their faces- totally obliterating what they once knew?
