Visit Campagne

Campagne is a picturesque little village not far from Les Eyzies de Tayac.

As you arrive in the village you are greeted by the sight of the large 15-18th century Chateau set in the middle of a peaceful park with a backdrop of the imposing cliffs of the Vezere valley.

Visit Campagne, Dordogne

Take a walk up the steep path leading to the graveyard. From here you get a superb view overlooking the  wonderful mixture of roofs on the buildings below.

The village itself is small but pretty with its stone houses and perigordine roofs. The church has one of those flat bell towers that you occasionally see in the Dordogne. This one has space for three bells though one seemed to be missing the day I visited.

The Chateau is owned by the French state and is currently being renovated and so perhaps will be open to the public at some time in the future.

One of the bigger buildings in the village is the Hotel du Chateau which is a pleasant hotel and an excellent spot for lunch.

Behind the village a rocky hill rises up, part of the cliffs of the Vezere valley and on the top of this are some remains of a fort and a troglodyte village. This area is very wooded and is criss-crossed with pleasant walks.

Campagne sits between the attractive riverside town of Le Bugue and Les Eyzies which is at the heart of the prehistoric sites of the Vezere valley.
