We were in the Dordogne from the end of May to mid-June last year. The first few days were lovely and warm, and we enjoyed the pool, but then it turned cool and started raining and continued off and on for the rest of the holiday. There were some breaks in the rain when we managed to do some sight-seeing, but on the whole it was a huge disappointment. The campsite restaurant wasn't open, and the bar had very little indoor space but a large patio area with sun umbrellas - not much use! We kept checking the weather elsewhere in France but it was pretty bad everywhere. After a couple of weeks we moved on to Puy de Dome - still wet.
This may well have been a particularly bad year for weather, and you will probably fare much better, but all I can say is that there were a lot of fed-up, wet tourists around! It struck us that most of the campsites and attractions weren't built for poor weather. Lascaux was heaving and the indoor part of the restaurant was full to burdting - there were far outdoor than indoor tables. The cafes at the Belvedere in Domme had almost no indoor seating, many of the chateaux we visited were the same.
I guess the Dordogne isn't as reliably warm and dry as places further south, but I think we, and thousands of other holidaymakers last year, were unlucky!

husband is ‘high risk’ so we need to think carefully about when we travel. The thought of not going until Sept 2021 is just too depressing, so any experiences of the Dordogne in May/early June ? I know most sites will be open, but what about facilities such as pools, restaurants on site, general activities in the region? The weather looks about perfect at the moment- 22ish in Sarlat next week when the UK goes a bit colder again, but can May/June be cold and wet?
