Camping in Dordogne - Périgord - Bordelais

In the age-old tradition of the South West, Périgord represents the very best of French food and the French way of life. In a varied landscape of oak and chestnut forest, limestone plateau and vineyards, its history starts at the ‘dawn of time’ with Cro-Magnon man and the fragile vestiges of prehistoric life at Lascaux and continues down the centuries with over 1000 châteaux, the medieval towns of Sarlat, Périgueux and Nontron and countless ‘bastides’ or fortified villages including the lovely Monpazier. It also boasts an international reputation as a centre of gastronomy with its signature black truffles, foie gras, duck and mushrooms, accompanied by the famous wines of Bergerac, Monbazillac and Pécharmant. And through the middle flows the lovely River Dordogne, sure to enchant anglers, walkers and water sports enthusiasts alike.
