Le Val d'Ussel

campsite Le Val d'Ussel, Dordogne

Just outside the bustle of the famous Sarlat (with its great weekly market) you'll find the village of Proissans. The quiet campsite here has a privileged spot, beautifully situated in natural surroundings, with atmospheric old buildings in the original architecture of this region.

The (partly heated) swimming pools are tastefully landscaped. You can enjoy yourself on the volleyball court, the mini golf and the tennis court. Those looking for peace and quiet can try a spot of fishing in the samll river beside the campsite. The restuarant serves excellent meals. The Dordogne is known worldwide for its culinary highlights.

For many people the series of turns that the river takes between Veyrignac and Beynac is the most beautiful part of the Dordogne. With little pearls like Domme, Castelnaud-la-Chapelle and La Roche Gageac and at each trun of the river a mighty castle, high on a rock, this must be one of the most beautiful rivers in Europe.

Sarlat-la-Caneda is an absolute must on your list of places to visit. A historical village with its own special atmosphere and lovely restuarants. The famous caves of Lascaux can be found 50km away, but closer are the caves of Lacave and Padriac, which are also very interesting. A special trip is one down the river on a 'Gabare', a replica of the ships that were used in the old days to transport cargo to Bordeaux. There are several tree trails in this area - good fun for both young and old.
