France: Dordogne & Languedoc

In this travel class, Steve Smith explains the highlights of the Dordogne (scenic gorge with canoe rides, decadent foie gras, and prehistoric cave art) and Languedoc (mighty Carcassonne, cliff-topping Cathar castles, and seafront Collioure).

These dudes give excellent advice on how to travel this and other regions.

Not a word about Toulouse (which is the capital of Occitany), not a word about Albi region

He's got at least 20 pages on Albi in his guidebook

Rick Steves, you are a very nice person and your videos are interesting. But, as for the geography of the Dordogne, you ought to know better. For instance , when you situate Cathar castles and Carcassonne in the neighbourhood of the Dordogne, you are totally mistaken. There are about 500 kilometers between the Dordogne and Carcassonne. You must bear that in mind. You would be well advised to read a book of geography.

Sarlat-la-Canéda to Carcasonne fortress is 281 km and 208 km in bee line and Steve Smith mentions that they are 3 hours apart twice

He can't even pronounce "Dordogne" properly!!
