The Treasures of the Périgord Noir: History and Nature at Your Fingertips

Beynac-et-Cazenac and the Dordogne Valley: a journey along the river, past castles and legends

A stay at Le Capeyrou Campground is the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the deep, hidden soul of the Périgord Noir. Between the Château de Beynac, standing proudly on its rocky outcrop overlooking the Dordogne, the golden-stone villages ranked among the most beautiful in France, and the oak and chestnut forests stretching as far as the eye can see, every day reveals a landscape straight out of a medieval fairy tale. Take advantage of the markets in Sarlat and the surrounding villages to indulge in black truffles, duck confit, and Périgord strawberries; glide by canoe on the emerald waters of the Dordogne between Beynac and Castelnaud; or set out to explore the ornate caves and prehistoric sites that dot the valley. With its majestic river, exceptional medieval heritage, and generous cuisine, Beynac-et-Cazenac and the Dordogne Valley offer a stunning setting for a timeless vacation, lulled by the murmur of the water and the golden magic of the Périgord.
