Green Périgord
The Auvézère Valley is an ideal destination for groups seeking nature, heritage, and preserved landscapes.
At the heart of Périgord Vert, the Auvézère River flows through a hilly countryside, amidst forests, charming villages, old mills, and remarkable natural sites.
This valley charms with its wild and authentic atmosphere. The Gorges of the Auvézère, around Saint-Mesmin, offer a spectacular setting with steep paths, footbridges, rocky chaos, and the Saut Ruban waterfall. It’s one of the most picturesque areas of the Périgord Vert, perfect for exploration on foot.
The valley also allows for the association of nature and culture, with strong sites like the Château de Hautefort, grand classic château surrounded by gardens, or the Moulin de la Résistance of Pont Lasveyras, also called the Paper Mill, a memorial site related to World War II.
Château de Hautefort is one of the region's great heritage sites. With its classical architecture, French gardens, and commanding position, it offers an elegant and very accessible visit for groups.
Its setting also offers beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.
Also called the Paper Mill, this memorial site recalls a tragic episode of World War II.
Located on the borders of Dordogne, Corrèze, and Haute-Vienne, it allows for an exploration of the local history of the Resistance within a natural setting marked by the Auvézère River.
The Gorges de l'Auvézère offer one of the wildest landscapes in the Périgord Vert. Forest paths, rocks, footbridges, a lively river, and the Saut Ruban waterfall make up a truly exotic natural route.
This is a great step for groups looking to incorporate a nature discovery into their stay.
The valley is crossed by several hiking trails that allow you to discover the forests, landscapes, and viewpoints of Périgord Vert.
These routes offer an immersion in preserved nature, ideal for completing a day of sightseeing with an accessible or more athletic stroll, depending on your program.
The Auvézère can also be discovered from the water, particularly by canoe on certain suitable sections. This activity allows you to enjoy the valley's landscapes in a different way, amidst the river, vegetation, and natural heritage.
An interesting seasonal option for groups wanting to add a more active dimension to their stay.
