Camping La Nouvelle Croze

The Vézère area is at the heart of prehistory in France, with more than 150 archaeological sites and famous cave paintings, including those at Lascaux (Montignac). Explore impressive sites such as the Rouffignac cave with its remarkable artworks by little train, or take a trip to Montignac with its lively historic center and local museums. Also visit Château de l’Herm, an atmospheric Renaissance fortress in the woods that makes history come alive and takes you back to the Middle Ages.

Let yourself be tempted by the flavors of the Dordogne! In the area you'll find lively farmers' markets, artisanal products, and local specialties such as walnuts, truffles, and confit de canard—perfect to take home or to taste on the spot. Stroll through picturesque villages like Montignac or make a culinary stop at authentic restaurants and cafés along the Vézère. Combine your day trip with a picnic in the greenery or a gourmet lunch overlooking the beautiful landscape.

Discover the charm of the Dordogne via the castle route: from medieval fortresses to elegant Renaissance castles such as Château de l’Herm. Walk or cycle together with your family through the rolling landscape and stop along the way at playgrounds and green picnic spots where the children can play freely. Visit local artisan workshops and small museums that bring the history and traditions of the region to life. End the day with a drink on a terrace in a picturesque village, where young and old can enjoy local delicacies, fresh market products, and the authentic French village life.
