Summer is here! Heat, sun, summer atmosphere… Want to cool off and discover an unusual and free place? Let’s quickly take the direction of Périgord Noir in the company of Nathalie Jouat from Perigord Guidethe website that allows you to organize your holidays in the Dordogne.
The Château de Campagne, an open and free place
Château de Campagne is not just a castle in the middle of greenery, Campagne is the name of a pretty little village in Périgord Noir! Located just before Le Bugue and after Les Eyzies, it is through. You can stroll through its small town, eat in a restaurant and above all, pass the gates of the superb Country Estatefor a day of fun, sport, walks in nature, with family or friends.

You then enter a large 6 ha park, a Remarkable Garden with equally remarkable trees, one of which is listed. The English garden is made up of flowerbeds, a permaculture vegetable garden, a labyrinth of hornbeams, and a pretty stream. It’s beautiful, shaded, spacious and romantic… The Château de Campagne cannot be visited, it can be admired from every angle and you can sometimes enter it to access exhibitions, especially in summer.
Le Bugue, an attractive and dynamic village
We recommend that you continue your day in Le Bugue, a town which is a few minutes away by car. You are not far from the Gouffre de Proumeyssac, a subjugating cave with concretions. At the entrance of the city is a place with several activities, the Aquarium of Périgord Noir, the Big Bird, the prehistoric Labyrinth and especially the Village of Bournat. It is an atypical amusement park, which will appeal to the whole family, which immerses adults and older people in the sweetness of childhood memories and children in a magical world. Merry-go-rounds, old games, animals, entertainment, costumes, we recommend the summer nights at Bournat. Finally, the more athletic or those who want to cool off can go canoeing down the Vézère river from Le Bugue.
Advice from the Guide du Périgord: Consider Campagne or Le Bugue as a resort for your holidays, it is an ideal location for exploring the Vallée de l’Homme.
There is no shortage of good ideas to help you organize your holidays in Périgord.
