We are making our 8th visit to Le Paradis in June this year. Its still our favourite site anywhere and the Kusters family who own and run the site are really nice. The staff are also very good and many of the staff have been there for years (which these days says a lot). Although we are grandparents now we have been there with our children and grandchildren and they have always had a lovely time.

We are going via Lac d'Orient as we intend to stay there for a week before we move to Le Paradis but not the best route if you only want an overnight on the way down. As other people have suggested Rouen, Chartres etc is probably the best route. Spend some time on via michelin and play around with the routes to find what suits you best.

Hope you have a great time.

Hope you do as well.

As Wakshane says you can book a pitch at Le Paradis but its a fairly hefty price (I think around 20€ if memory serves me right).

The Intermarche at Montignac was a bit old but they moved to a new premises just down the road in I think 2009 and now is very nice. When we were last there they were about to open a cefeteria which is usually very well priced and excellent value, especially for lunches.

We really like Montignac as even though it has the Lascaux caves it is far less well visited that places like Sarlat, Le Roque, Domme etc and retains a more "French" feel to it. Less well known but well worth a visit is Terrason old town which is not far away.

Well done jimJAM71, hope you have a great time. Just to whet the appetite here are a couple of photos of both the site and Montignac. I have posted the photos of the site before but not of Montignac. Hope they help.

Meant to include a shot of terrason as well in my last post but for some reason my web album didn't want to show it. Anyway I reloaded it into my web album and this seems to have worked. As i mentioned before, worth a visit.
