La Roque Gageac
The village is a popular spot for picnicking especially along the riverbank which is a perfect vantage point for a stunning view. It is a very popular tourist attraction, so our advice is to come early in the morning.Ìý Aoibihinn took the boat trip along the river. It's a great way to find out more about the area as a commentary will fill you in on some of the stories behind the sights.

Chateau de Castelnaud
There are many castles to visit in the region but you recommended Chateau de Castelnaud which is around a 30 minute drive from the campsite.
