The castle and gardens

  • Peaceful campsite in the landscaped gardens of a Dordogne château
  • Périgueux half an hour’s drive and Sarlat-la-Canéda 50 minutes
  • Shaded pitches with a swimming pool; three-course meals available
Here’s a rare chance to camp up in the landscaped back garden of a two-hundred-year-old mansion… Château La Barge is a wonderfully romantic spot to linger, five minutes’ drive from the pretty village of Cubjac-Auvézère-Val d’Ans in the Dordogne countryside. This small and peaceful campsite has just a few pitches, all with electric hook-ups and all shaded by fruit and walnut trees, with modern amenities a short walk away up a flight of stone steps. There’s a swimming pool on site – great for cooling off on summer days – and you can also go wild swimming in the Auvézère River, just five minutes’ walk away. Deckchairs and tables are provided in the garden – pick up picnic ingredients from the shops in Rodas (five minutes’ drive). For those evenings when you don’t feel like cooking for yourselves, the site owners can organise a communal barbecue, or you can pre-order three-course fixed-price menus and eat alfresco under the covered pergola. All you need to do is turn up, enjoy a glass of wine and perhaps make new friends among your fellow campers as you dine.

Huw D.

FHU grass travel trailer campsite

Liked What a idilic beautiful Chateau in amazing countryside. We were met by Ilise then Rowland the owner’s who were delightful and most helpful. We had a choice of where to park up and nothing was too much trouble for them both. The facilities were second to none, the pool was secluded and had it all to ourselves. Ilise went each morning early to get fresh bread and quasonts delivered to our door. This is a must stop destination if you’re in the Dordogne region. Thank you both x

Local attractions

Château La Barge is set in hilly Dordogne countryside, a mecca for hikers and mountain bikers – in fact the Grande Randonnée 646 route between Perigueux and Sainte-Foy-la-Grande goes right past the grounds. You can also paddle down the Auvézère by canoe from Cubjac-Auvézère-Val d’Ans (five minutes’ drive). For more cultural pursuits, you have a choice of gorgeous and photogenic Dordogne towns and villages. Start your exploration of the area at the striking Byzantine cathedral in Périgueux (half an hour), or visit the troglodyte caves and Benedictine abbey in Brantome (45 minutes). Historic Sarlat-la-Canéda (50 minutes) has plenty of gourmet restaurants in its labyrinthine medieval centre, and there are lively produce markets there on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. Step back in time to visit the magical reinterpretation of prehistoric paintings at Lascaux IV - International Centre of Cave Art (half an hour), or go deep underground and take a boat ride on the subterranean lake at Le Gouffre (90 minutes) near Padirac.
