Camping Moulin du Périé

Moulin du Périé's nearest village is Sauveterre-la-Lémance, three kilometres away, an old old place with a museum and archaeology site dedicated to the town's prehistoric past. More recently but still nicely ancient, the fortified castle of Bonaguil is seven kilometres away and is one of many medieval castles in the region including Castelnaud, Beynac and Biron. More of a food fan? You're in the right place, as the Périgord Noir region is stuffed with local specialties like duck, goose, truffles, chestnuts, walnuts, and fruit and veg like prunes and mushrooms among its shops and many summer farmers' markets. Et of course there is wine… visit the famed vineyards of Cahors and Bergerac to sample their tasty sweet white wine Monbazillac. (French food fans in this area take their cuisine seriously too, as you'll see with visits to the chestnut museum eight kilometres away, the nearby Agen prunes museum, and the foie gras museum 35 kilometres away.) A heated covered pool is at Puy L'Evêque, 15 kilometres away, and an aqua park in Villeneuve sur Lot 40 kilometres away, with an outdoor heated pool, play areas and waterslides.
