Domaine de la Paille Basse

Set between the pretty Périgord region and the town of Souillac, the holiday park is surrounded by national heritage sites, cultural activities and the promise of sampling many a tasty gastronomic treat: right in the Dordogne valley with Rocamadour and Sarlat both within 50 minutes’ drive. History hunters can catch a spot of natural history at the Lascaux caves and the national prehistory museum in Les Eyzies, or if you’re more of an active sort, you can round up the family, load them into canoes or kayaks and embark on a gentle paddle along the Dordogne river. Excursions to the lush and local Dordogne valley vineyards are just one of the many top trips off site; also highly recommended by site staff is a trip to one of the many local farms, some of which produce France’s famed foie gras.
