Things to see and do

Among the must-see places, you absolutely must visit the caves of Maxange, also called cave of the stars. The image speaks for itself, you will dive into a cave with a starry sky through beautiful limestone growths. The cave of Cussac is also very beautiful, but unfortunately is not open to the public. Then comes the time to discover the treasures of the past. And for that, head to Cadouin where a Cistercian abbey awaits you, partly listed as a Historic Monument and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as a stopover on the way to Santiago de Compostela. A striking mix of Romanesque and flamboyant Gothic art awaits you. Group visits can be arranged.

The village of Cadouin has other surprises in store for you, such as its hall, which is also classified as a Historic Monument and which alone deserves a visit. The walk continues with the discovery of the Saint-Barthélémy-de-Salles church, also classified as a Historic Monument. You can also admire the Saint-Pierre-ès-liens de Caban church, listed as a Historic Monument. After the places of worship, it is the mansions and old buildings that line up to delight your eyes.

To relax, there's nothing like a little tour on the banks of the Dordogne. For this, you can settle on the beach of Pont de Vicq which will allow you to enjoy all the nautical activities. Please note that swimming is not supervised.

For an exotic stroll, the Planbuisson garden welcomes you in the middle of a bamboo forest. It is in 1.5 hectares of exceptional nature that you will have the opportunity to stroll.
