Theme parks

With its rich history and prehistory, the Dordogne is very rich in theme parks. So there is more than enough to do for families with children.

At a distance of 5 to 25 km you will find the following parks:

Twenty places can be seen such as the medieval construction site, forge, drum winch (type of winch), quarry, armory and
kitchen of the fortress. Interesting for young and old. This attraction is on the UNESCO World Heritage List for a reason.

On top of the cliff stands the medieval castle. This attraction is on the UNESCO World Heritage List for a reason.

Les Cabanes de Breuil (St. André d'Allas)
This special collection of sheds and houses built without cement with "lauzes" (flat natural stones) is located on a farm between Sarlat and Les Eyzies. The buildings probably date from the 19th century, although no one knows exactly when they were made. The roofs have no trusses and the domes are made by simply stacking stones on top of each other.
