Travelling as a family is all about creating memories, sharing precious moments and seeing children’s eyes sparkle with new discoveries. The Périgord Inattendu offers all this… and much more! Between nature escapades, cultural explorations and unusual experiences, each day becomes a new adventure, punctuated by the pleasure of discovery and the joy of being together.

Parks where
young and old alike

As soon as you arrive in the Périgord Inattendu, the adventure begins with an immersion in nature at the Parc Sauvage de La Tour Blanche-Cercles. Children will marvel as they observe animals in semi-liberty: majestic deer, birds of prey perched in the trees… The experience offers a rare proximity to wildlife, in a peaceful and unspoilt setting, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
There’s a change of scene at the Parc des Doublorigènes in Saint-Vincent-Jalmoutiers, a place that’s as much fun as it is artistic. The trail, dotted with sculptures and sensory games, captures the attention of the youngest visitors. The bird maze, in particular, becomes a playground for exploration, where laughter and challenges mingle with the pleasure of discovery.

When adventure
becomes a treasure hunt

In the Périgord Inattendu, every day has its own surprises in store. On a beautiful sunny day, head off on an adventure with Terra Aventura, a digital treasure hunt that invites young and old to explore the villages of Saint-Aulaye and Ribérac in a whole new way.. By solving riddle after riddle, participants can access secret caches while discovering the area in a fun way. Children and adults, transformed into real explorers, quickly get into the swing of things.

At La Jemaye, a new mission awaits them around theÉtang du Bigousset. This time, the investigation focuses on local biodiversity: natural clues, observation of the ecosystem and discovery of the flora and fauna make the experience as instructive as it is fun.

Another highlight is the Church Game in the Saint-Aulaye area. Thanks to this activity, history and religious heritage are revealed from an original and interactive angle, capturing the attention of all audiences, including the very young.
