Camping La Rivière Fleurie

As well as river-based activities such as fishing and canoeing from the site and nearby, the surrounding landscape lends itself to a whole heap of active pursuits such as tennis, golf and paintball, plus horse riding, woodland walks and bike rides around the locale: just ask the site’s friendly team to point you in the right direction when you arrive. Shopping aficionados and bargain hunters are well served by a rather excellent market that's held on Saturday mornings in Sainte Foy La Grande, eight kilometres away, and the traditional flea markets in Castillon La Bataille are well worth the 20-minute drive to too. Should you be of a history-seeking persuasion, it’s highly recommended that you head to the settlement of Bergerac to wander its tree-lined boulevards and shaded arcades and, should you have time, that you also perhaps follow a stint here with the seven-kilometre trip outside the town to investigate the 16th-century Château de Monbazillac. Several other such options lie within easy reach of Camping La Rivière Fleurie too, including the UNESCO-listed village of Saint-Émilion, with its spectacular vistas out over the underlying valley and vineyards; the archeological site of Montcaret; and the Château de Rauzan, all around half an hour’s drive or less from base. For something rather more kid-friendly the the zoo in Mescoules, 35 minutes’ drive away, is where younger brains will be most at their most amused.
