Camping L'Etang de Bazange

How long have you got? Grab as lengthy a stay as you can, for there’s heaps to do locally on top of all the on-site stuff. If you’re coming to the Dordogne (area), you can’t ignore the Dordogne (river)… head down to Sainte-Foy-la-Grande (15 minutes’ drive) to paddle along its waters in kayaks or canoes, or board a boat trip. See the scenery from on high as you zoom along the zipwires and treetop trails at AccroZarbres adventure park (25 minutes) or stick to ground level for walks or bike rides on local trails, or horse rides through the vineyards (with tastings if you’re of the appropriate age). Delve deeper still by donning a hard hat and wellies to wander through the caves and underground streams at Célestine Cave (45 minutes). Time for a tipple? The winemaking hubs of Bergerac and Saint-Émilion are both within a 45-minute drive. If you’ve got the tiddlers in tow, perhaps steer towards a trip to the châteaux of Bridoire and Monbazillac instead (both half an hour away; the latter doubles as a place to sip its delicious dessert wines).
