Over the 37-acre site, there are lots of activities to take part in, including the sale of home-grown fresh fruits and vegetables, wine tasting twice a week, and fun games ranging from board games to badminton. Nearby, you can either venture down to the local village, or travel a slight little further afield to explore three medieval towns, all packed with history, arts, and culture. This includes one of the most highly-frequented and attractive towns, Sarlat, along with Thenon, home to the largest tree-climbing forest adventure park in Dordogne — we hope you’re not scared of heights!
If you fancy something a little more action-packed, then don’t worry as that’s here, too. Call Tree Forest Adventure Course (+33553463506) is the largest tree-climbing adventure park that will provide fun for your whole family, and it’s only two miles from the site. Not only can you climb the trees, but there is also disc golf, playground areas, hiking trails through the forest, zip lines, acrobatic courses, and over 150 games that are perfect for children — including balance work, Tarzan jumps, and pirate net.
Aquarium Périgord Noir (+33553071074), just over 20 miles away, is the largest private freshwater aquarium in Europe, home to over 6,000 animals and exhibits. The Aquarium is in the centre of Univerland Le Bugue, where you can certainly enjoy a family day out. The attractions include The Big Bird — the highest aerial course in Europe — Jungle Golf, and Prehistoric Labyrinth Mirror Maze. If this doesn’t tickle your fancy, why not check out Univerland Journiac, which is just under 20 miles from the site where you can enjoy fun-packed activities including Karting City, VR Galaxy, Laxer City, Axe Throwing, and Aquatic Lagoon Water Park.
In Thenon, only a 5-minute drive away, you’ll find a small number of shops and restaurants such the local supermarket Carrefour Contant, The Boulangerie bakery (+33553051184), Bambou Pizzeria (+33553091196), La Petit Gourmand (+33553137541) which offer burgers, steaks, seafood and more. Finally, we recommend heading down to La Guinguette de L’etang (+33553051604) which offers an à la carte menu alongside music concerts creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. This restaurant overlooks the beautiful lake where you can hire paddle or rental boats, go on nice walks around the area, and go fishing.
