Within a 20-km radius of the campsite, you can visit the Vézère valley, classed as a world heritage site by UNESCO, and bury yourself in prehistory... The Vézère valley is home amongst other things to the unique sites of the Lascaux caves and La Roque Saint Christophe...
In the district of Montignac, the Lascaux cave constitutes one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century; the frescoes to be found inside date back to 15,000 years before our time. Nowadays it is closed to the public, and it’s the replica, Lascaux II, that you will be able to visit.
Not far from there, between Montignac and Les Eyzies, one of Perigord’s finest landscapes greets your eyes: the enormous cliff of La Roque Saint Christophe and its natural caves, which have been occupied by man since prehistoric times (-55,000 years).
Going towards the Dordogne, make a date with history in the 8th-century town of Sarlat – the frontier between the kings of France and England during the Hundred Years War (1337-1453); it became English in 1360, to be liberated by Du Guesclin ten years later.
Within a stone’s throw of the campsite, don’t forget to visit the magnificent village of Saint Amand de Coly and its amazing fortified 12th-century abbey.
Foie Gras, Perigord walnuts, truffles... the famous Perigord gastronomy will be a treat for your taste buds, so follow our guide to good restaurants to visit...
