That's useful for us too Wendy, thanks. Watching the walkthrough video, that area is a bit too close to the swings for us, so we'll rely on the site owners guidance for a sunny but quiet Grand Confort pitch, if one exists.

Just waiting to hear from them. Might try ringing on Monday if I'm brave enough.

LOL, they'll need to

Getting really excited now. All ferries and overnights in France and England booked, just need the site. The other sites mentioned all look good but I'm slightly put off by the lack of recent reviews on them.

Conversely, Capeyrou has lots of excellent reviews all from this year's visits. So Beynac for us, hopefully.

Thanks for putting us on to it Wendy. The reviews and campsite guidebooks we have are all useful but sometimes there's just too much choice. Good then to have a pointer

You're welcome.

Just hope i haven't shot myself in the foot after singing it praises.
I haven't booked yet. Need to get next years holiday dates confirmed at work.

No worries Wendy. Reviews from others and the 360 video all swung it too. No guarantees. "We pays our money and we makes our choice" etc

Hi Wendle

Le Caperyou looks lovely, only thing that seems to be missing is direct access to the river. Pictures of the actual access and "plage" seem to be conspicuous by their abscense on the actual website even the campsite map shows an arrow to the plage but no indication how far or what to expect when you get there. Can you advise please.

 

thanks

Le Capeyrou is fenced alongside the river with a small access gate to the riverside path. To find a 'plage' you would need to walk upriver to the Pont de Fayrac. (5-10 minutes max walk)

Or you can drive round to the bridge ... about three minutes ... out of the campsite, turn right towards Sarlat, then first on right takes you past the tennis courts (bookable at the campsite office) and down to the bridge ... 'beach' and boat hire.
Bordering the western side of the campsite is a little lane that leads down to a boat slipway ... also accessible if you turn right after passing though the little gate ... another 'beach' area there, too.

Driving it kind of defeats the object of being 'riverside'... doesn't it?

Hi Wendy
On your original question, we found Le Moulin de Fondbleu at Montignac this year. Smallish, very friendly staff - have yet to do the write-up. About 10 min stroll from town, with lovely riverside restaurants and lively cultural scene. Just down the hill from Lascaux caves.

Not if you have a couple of boats to launch!
