PLACES TO VISIT:
Rocamadour. 25 km. Pedestrian-only village in a stunning location and FranceÂ’s second most visited tourist attraction after Le Mont St-Michel, Rocamadour is a truly magical town with golden houses clinging to the side of a cliff over the Alzou canyon. Not to be missed.

Sarlat. 30 km. Beautiful, well restored town with old quarters dating from both medieval and renaissance times, with a maze of narrow medieval cobbled streets to explore.

THINGS TO DO:
Musée de l''Automate, Souillac. 1 km. Charming museum filled with mechanic toys and robots, from the 19th century to present day. You can see these toys and robots in action, accompanied by sounds and music – a jazz orchestra from 1920, a snake charmer, an antique doll, feeding a sparrow in her arms, a clown dancing on the moon.
Indian Forest Périgord, Carsac-Aillac. 20 km. Tree top adventure. 6 forest adventure courses for the entire family. Thrills to escape and experience the joys of adventure while having fun going through tree top trails and aerial walkways. Great fun.

Insectopia, Gouffre de Padirac. 30 km. An interactive museum of insects and nature with an intriguing mix of live insects from leaf eating ants to praying mantis. For a little snack, why not try one of the ‘edible insects’, like the chocolate-coated ants! Not for the faint-hearted!

FURTHER AFIELD:
