  • Family-friendly Dordogne site at the entrance to medieval Excideuil
  • Périgord-Limousin Natural Regional Park half an hour’s drive
  • River access for swimming and fishing; local pool 10 minutes' walk
Each of the four areas in the Périgord region of the Dordogne is named after a colour that is symbolic of its landscape, so you can be sure that when you visit the Périgord Vert (green), you’ll find yourself among forests of oaks and chestnut trees, and lush meadows. When those rural settings call, what else can you do but answer by booking a spot at Camping du Périgord Vert, at the entrance to the small medieval town of Excideuil (about a 10-minute walk away from the centre). Spacious pitches at this peaceful spot sit in the shade of leafy trees; a pétanque court awaits families eager to compete; and the river Loue flows right at the edge of the site, inviting anglers to cast a line, watersports enthusiasts to launch their canoe and wild swimmers to take a dip. No worries if you (or the kids) would feel safer swimming in a pool – the outdoor municipal pool is a 10-minute walk away, in Excideuil. The town also has several bakeries (mmm, buttery, flaky croissants for breakfast…), grocery shops and restaurants, plus a weekly market on Thursday mornings where you can stock up on sun-ripened local produce and a Sunday-morning farmers' market at Place du Château during the season. The site managers will be happy to advise you on the best local trails, such as those lining the valleys and hills of the Périgord-Limousin Natural Regional Park (half an hour's drive away). For something a little different, head to Velorail Périgord Vert (15 minutes), where you’ll be cycling on a former railway line on a trolley-like vehicle.

From the manager: Bonjour,

Court, mais vous avez retenu les deux choses qui comptent le plus pour nous : le calme et l'accueil. Merci beaucoup 😊

Un petit camping tranquille où l'on se sent bien reçu, c'est tout ce qu'on cherche à faire à Excideuil. Alors savoir que ça s'est senti pendant votre séjour, ça nous encourage à continuer. La porte reste ouverte pour un prochain passage dans le Périgord Vert !

From the manager: Merci beaucoup pour ce retour ! On a bien senti que le programme était chargé avec les retrouvailles familiales, et les trois nuits sont passées vite !
Ravie que le cadre verdoyant au bord de la Loue et l'accueil vous aient plu : c'est exactement ce qu'on cherche à cultiver ici. Au plaisir de vous revoir à Excideuil, avec un peu plus de temps pour papoter cette fois.

Local attractions

Be sure to bring a warm jacket when you visit the Cave of Tourtoirac (15 minutes’ drive), where the temperature never rises higher than the mid-teens. Discovered (in rather tragic fashion) in the 1990s, this network of caverns and underground passages features spectacular rock formations. The city of Périgueux (45 minutes) has a long history, having been a stronghold for the Gauls and the Romans, both of whom left plenty of traces. These include the ruins of a Roman amphitheatre, now housing a green park with a play area. The Vesunna Gallo-Roman Museum, in a contemporary building designed by architect Jean Nouvel, houses ancient artefacts. High above the river Vézère, La Roque St. Christophe (55 minutes) is a limestone cliff carved with prehistoric dwellings. Take a tour around this vertiginous site (a film shows how the caves were built), then stay until after dark for the dramatic sound and light show.
