A top quality parc set in wooded parkland near medieval Sarlat, renowned as one of France’s prettiest towns.

Set amidst rolling hills in unspoilt countryside, this parc is well maintained by the friendly owners and is highly rated by our customers, with lovely old farm buildings converted to house a basic shop with bar and restaurant. The pretty bar terrace with its elegant sandstone balustrading overlooks the swimming pool area, waterslides, tennis court, and spacious play area. Most of our accommodation can be found on pitches shaded by mature oak trees. A recent addition to this lovely parc is a fantastic indoor gym, finished to a very high standard.
