Ah, Douce France! With its gastronomical excellence and delicious wines, the country is a foodie’s wet dream. Every region has its own signature cooking style, making it a diverse place to tickle your tastebuds. However, the more rural regions of France tend to be a little harder to navigate for us gluten-free travelers and foodies. As dedicated gluten-free restaurants are almost non-existent in the parts of the Dordogne we visited, I have created this ‘kind of’ gluten-free guide to help you on your culinary journey!
Castles, hills, and forests: the Dordogne Valley is the fairytale region of your dreams.

Pizza, pasta, and even croissants filled our bellies that week, so scroll down to read the complete gluten free Sicily guide!
