  This is absolutely superb and a must if you’re in the area. Well organised and staff speak a little English, you must book over the phone prior to going as there are limited slots. Lady on the phone was polite and spoke basic English enough to make the booking. €45 per cart, the experience takes about 2-3 hours with a stop 3/4 the way up the gradient for a rest, coffee (although UHT milk 🤢) and a loo stop. It’s basically a small length of former railway line (7km) that you ride on a purpose built pedal cart on the tracks that seats 5. All carts have electric assist which is much needed, as the first leg is up hill all the way (but great fun coming back!!) Winds through beautiful scenery, across a bridge over the river, and a small tunnel, passing through numerous level crossings (you must get off and walk the cart across). Coming back it’s downhill all the way, and if you want to, you can gather quite a bit of speed! Fantastic few hours out and a lot of fun!

  The Velorail Perigord Vert is a load of fun. We were at the front of the pack so we took off like a possessed locomotive. Didn’t expect it to be such a big uphill slog (maybe we should have used the electric assist motor!!). A well deserved beer and toilet break later we were off for a small climb before they turned us around and sent us back down the hill. We were surprised at the speed we could get and even more so at the stopping distance required. A really fun afternoon. Thank you

  Such a fun, family experience. It’s a 14 km (7 in one direction) route with a 15 min stop while going there. Electrical support really makes it easy and pleasant as first part is all up the hill. Going back is like a roller coaster ride with almost none work that had to be done. It took us about 2 hours in total. The only problem is that reservations are only via telephone so sharpen your French. We were in July and there are three courses daily : 9:30, 14:00 and 16:00.
