Car-free campsite 4*Make yourself at home
Leave city life behind! If you are looking for peace of mind and tranquility, this is the place to be.
You arrive, park your car in the car park, and that’s it. Here, the paths belong to the children, the bikes, the carts for your luggage, and the silence. No engines, no pollution, no slamming doors – just nature and time slowing down.
At Le Village du Port, slow tourism isn’t just a concept — it’s the way we’ve lived for six generations on the banks of the Dordogne. Savouring the present, watching the morning mist rise over the river, letting the days unfold to the rhythm of the sun.
(5G and WiFi are available if you need them — but you’ll see, we manage perfectly well without them.)
Eco-friendly campsite 4*A breath of fresh air
A committed eco-campsite 4* situated within a UNESCO and Natura 2000 reserve: the environment is at the very heart of this place.
The Dordogne Valley is designated a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. This is a responsibility we have always taken seriously. Replanting heritage tree varieties, waste sorting, the circular economy, locally sourced produce, car-free camping… Every action counts in preserving this exceptional site, which we are privileged to call home and to share with you.
Swimming pools and the river dordognewhere to cool down
The River Dordogne flows past the estate for 300 metres — with direct access from the campsite for a dip in the river, a canoe trip, or simply wading in the water and fishing at sunset. On the estate, two swimming pools with separate paddling pools delight young and old alike, open from Easter to October. The main pools are bathed in sunshine all day long. A water paradise just a stone’s throw from your accommodation.
A wonderful invitation to share some magical moments with your children!
Accommodation for everyone
Accommodation to suit all tastes, from camping to villas
A nature pitch by the river, a fully equipped tent under the walnut trees, a safari lodge, a gîte with views of the Dordogne or a large villa for 12 people — there’s something to suit every style and every preference. What they all have in common: nature, tranquillity and direct access to the swimming pools and the river.
Chez Sophie wine bar Aperitifs and more!
Chez Sophie — wine bar and local delicatessen in the Dordogne
Housed in the estate’s old farmhouse, the “Chez Sophie” wine bar is much more than just a place to taste wine. It offers a real taste of local culture: Cahors wines, local rillettes, produce from neighbouring farmers, artisanal ice cream, and a selection of local food trucks invited along for the occasion. In the evening, when the fire pits are lit and lanterns illuminate the terrace, that’s when the best holiday evenings begin: marshmallow parties…
Well-being Relaxing your mind and body
Sauna, hydrotherapy and massages — a spa surrounded by nature
Tucked away in the estate’s old farmhouse, our wellness area is a well-kept secret. A traditional sauna, a hydrotherapy bath with adjustable jets, and wellness massages by appointment: a break dedicated to pampering body and mind, just a stone’s throw from your accommodation. Open to campsite guests, for individuals, couples or private hire.
