Go camping in Dordogne
Staying at Domaine des Chênes Verts means giving yourself the chance to discover the Dordogne in its most authentic form. Here, landscapes unfold in gentle layers: green valleys, legendary rivers and stone villages that bear witness to a thousand years of history. Each day opens a new chapter—an early-morning market fragrant with local produce, a walk to higher viewpoints, a visit that bridges prehistory and the present. The Périgord Noir has a rare gift: it makes you feel the essence of the region from the very first moments.
**The Dordogne: an exceptional heritage
The Dordogne feels like a vast open book. Its lifestyle is shaped by conviviality, gastronomy and generous nature. Rivers give rhythm to the scenery, cliffs sculpt the horizon and forests soften the light with warm, golden tones. Medieval villages appear untouched by time, castles still watch over the valleys and culinary traditions are shared with an endearing simplicity.
This is a land of variety: a mosaic of landscapes, atmospheres and cultures that make every outing unique. You can slip into local life in Sarlat, savour the peace of a canoe trip or take in
A land of discovery at every turn
Ce mélange d’émotions compose une expérience rare, où l’on ressent réellement la douceur de vivre périgourdine. The Dordogne reveals itself at your own pace. Riverside paths open onto beautiful hikes, listed villages reveal narrow lanes and shaded squares, and prehistoric sites remind you how deep the region’s roots run.
Days quickly take on a distinctive flavour: heritage, gastronomy, encounters, views. A lively market here, a castle visit there, a garden perched above the valley, a sunset reflecting off the river… Each moment has its own emotion.
