We go to Champs Romain for a refreshing and pleasant hike in all seasons: Le Saut du Chalard. A path towards a waterfall on the Dronne and a rocky chaos of great beauty. You are then only a few minutes from several leisure ponds for swimming and outdoor activities and why not walk in the footsteps of our ancestors in a unique decorated concretion cave in Périgord! France Bleu Périgord and the Guide du Périgord accompany you throughout the summer to explore the riches of our department, eyes open and senses awake.

The Saut du Chalard in Périgord Vert, a waterfall to admire!
This is the name of a family hike of barely 2km round trip on the banks of the Dronne. It is very easy to access it thanks to the efficient signage. For parking, free parking is available. The hike follows a forest path, with a drop of about 100m, it’s not much but enough for those who struggle (barely!) Uphill, need to take short breaks. Take your time ! The town hall offers a discovery booklet of local flora and fauna, geology and hydrology.

Discover the Périgord Vert, swim and visit
Half a day is the time we recommend you devote to this beautiful place. And to continue the pleasure, why not go do some sports or nautical and outdoor activities at one of the local leisure bases? You have the choice between the pond of Saint-Saud-Lacoussière and the Grand pond of Saint-Estèphe. These are perfect places for family holidays in Périgord Vert! Hikes, walks, water sports, cool and with your feet in the water.
Then continue with a visit to the Caves of Villars. If you like original and unusual sites, this one is definitely one of them! It is a cave with concretions which is decorated with parietal drawings, imprisoned in the limestone. A moving place as much as it is instructive and playful. A beautiful garden allows children to learn the uses, customs and lifestyles of our ancestors and in season, there are multiple discovery workshops.

And a little bonus for the end, don’t forget to take your bike to ride on the Flow Vélo, which passes nearby! It leaves from Thiviers to reach the island of Aix, on 290km of equipped and secure routes.
