CAMPING LA BASTIDE

Le Camping The Bastide is the ideal destination for a family vacation. For what reasons ? First of all the swimming pool! Must-have or attractive? Good news for holidays with children. It is heated and very large (15X7m). It is surrounded by a slab beach of about 200 m², with deckchairs, armchairs and parasols. There is also a paddling pool for the enjoyment of the youngest. It opens from mid-May to mid-October, until 21:00 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday in July and August (20:00 p.m. other days, and off season).

Sports facilities punctuate your days of sightseeing with games and relaxation. Ping-pong table (loan of rackets and balls), turnball (loan of rackets, ball provided), slackline, pétanque court (possibility of loan of balls), basketball hoop (loan of ball) ... You will inevitably find the game that you like !

For rainy days or simply for a moment of rest, the relaxation room of the Camping The Bastide is equipped with a sofa and wicker armchairs. It is a very pleasant space for reading (several books available in several languages, for adults and for children) or for board games. For fans, a television set connected to Canal + Sports is at your disposal.

Finally, if you appreciate that we offer you entertainment during your holidays, you will be delighted by the themed evenings. But also the treasure hunts, the bowls and darts competitions, the Loto evenings, the meals with music… And then the local farmers' markets, and of course the welcome drink on Sunday noon! Not to be missed if you want to know the activities of the week within the camping, in Villefranche and the surrounding area.

At the crossroads of the Dordogne, Lot and Lot-et-Garonne, there are so many activities to practice for an active and picturesque holiday! Hiking on the trails, or rather visiting prehistoric sites, caves, museums, villages and castles. Other outdoor activities await you. For example, horseback riding or mountain biking, swimming in natural waters, canoeing, pedalos, guided boat trips, tree climbing ...

Are you a sports fan? Go to Camping The Bastide to participate in surrounding sporting events. For example the 100 kilometers of Belvès, the Trail of the country of the chestnut tree, the 47 km of the 47.

Are you passionate about nature? Go on foot to discover the extraordinary gardens. For example the Water Gardens of Carsac Aillac - Gardens of Marqueyssac with their boxwood. The panoramic gardens of Limeuil, and their view over the Dordogne valley, are also sumptuous. The medieval gardens of Barry in Salviac, Gavaudun, the Bastideum in Monpazier, or finally the Jardins des sens in Castelfranc, and the Bambousaie are so many wonders to discover.

In Villefranche, especially for children, several treasure hunts have been set up. They make the discovery of the local tangible and intangible heritage fun. Most tourist sites offer specially designed tours with game booklets to make the experience more fun.

Some dates and events to remember to discover the terroir

In Villefranche, do not miss the spring fairs on May 8, and fall on November 11. Then experience the events around gastronomy, such as the chestnut festival or the Chocolate Fair.
