Aubazine - Le Campéole le Coiroux
The Camping Le Coiroux is set in the heart of a forest of
chestnuts, oaks, birches and pine trees on the edge of the Dordogne
region. A firm favourite with those who appreciate a setting where nature is
allowed to breathe.
Le Coiroux is part of a 440 acre leisure park with a
lakeside beach just 300m from the generously sized pitches. Its hilltop
location keeps Le Coiroux refreshingly cool during the evenings in high
summer. Here, above the folds and valleys of the Dordogne River,
you're free to enjoy the great outdoors, have a splash about in the good
sized pool, enjoy a meal in the restaurant or simply stretch out and relax.
Evenings are laid-back at leisurely, with a cosy bar offering the chance to
share a drink with friends and neighbours.
At Le Coiroux, there's no rush - sure, there's the chance
to go canoeing down the Dordogne
River, or take a 4x4
lesson off road, or even take a round of golf but, well, there's always
tomorrow..

cultural tourist attractions in the area. For the more adventurous there are
plenty of opportunities to go canoeing, climbing or horse-riding.
Closer to home is the lovely village of Aubazine, with its
Cistercian Abbey and selection of fine restaurants. Better still, visit the
excellent market at Sainte Fortunade and enjoy a barbeque back on your
terrace. Good local produce abounds - with pates, duck, trout apricots and
walnuts appearing in the region's hearty meals.
Throw away your guidebook and simply explore the enchanting
countryside at random - you'll have much more fun discovering its ancient
villages, châteaux, vineyards and valleys this way.

Theatre at Sarlat from 18th July to 5th August.
The best local market is in Sainte Fortunade every Friday in
July and August.
Périgeux is the capital of the Dordogne, and the regional
cuisine is known as Périgourdin. The geese and ducks, which are found in
every farmyard, are the essential ingredients for the vast range of patés and
confits for which the area is famous. The region has an international
reputation for its traditional recipes and produce. Truffles, foie gras (duck
liver paté), wild mushrooms, confit de canard (duck) can be found on every
restaurant menu. It is no surprise that the top Paris restaurants are often
supplied direct from the local markets.
For dessert, the Dordogne's fertile soil provides a superb
selection of fruits. This region is one of France's leading producers of
strawberries. Other crops which thrive here include cherries, plums, peaches,
apricots, and, of course, grapes. Alternatively, you may wish to try
'clafoutis', a local flan decorated with plump black cherries. The excellent
walnuts grown in the region are made into a delicious cake, 'Gâteau aux Noix'
and a tasty liqueur drink. Another popular speciality is Rocamadour goat’s
cheese.
Beautiful meandering rivers, charming ancient villages,
celebrated châteaux, rich vineyards, undulating green hills topped with ‘bastide’
towns and paintings from prehistory, all set in some of France’s loveliest
countryside, give the Dordogne a unique attraction. The Dordogne is ideal
countryside for walking, cycling, bird watching, fishing and watersports.
Steeped in history the beautiful Dordogne has an unforgettable charm.

and a new airport in construction south of Brive, fly drive is a good choice.
