The Little Explorer's backpack or the pleasure of learning while having fun

A must-have for any family holiday is the Petit Explorateur backpack, available from the Tourist Office in Ribérac.
This real adventurer’s kit, packed with little tools for observing nature, turns a simple walk into a real mission of exploration. With a magnifying glass in hand, children can spend hours looking for insects, ants, butterflies and leaves.
The walk takes on a whole new dimension: walking at their own pace, stopping to listen to birdsong or observe the flora makes the outing more immersive, more fun and, above all, more rewarding.
It’s an experience not to be missed if you want to discover nature in a different way, as a family, with your eyes wide open.

Art in the heart of nature at the Parc des Doublorigènes

Far from traditional museums, the Parc des Doublorigènes in Saint-Vincent-Jalmoutiers is an invitation to discover art in an original way. This open-air museum, populated by monumental wooden sculptures, captivated the whole family. Each work tells a story, stimulates the imagination and invites visitors to play.

Some of the sculptures even become the heroes of adventures invented on the spot – like this large wooden deer, quickly renamed and integrated into an improvised story.
It’s an inspiring and fun walk, perfect for awakening artistic curiosity in the whole family… and leaving with the desire to create something of their own.

The park has been awarded the Dordogne en famille label.

Meet the animals
at the Parc Sauvage

Watching animals in a natural setting is always a magical moment for children. At the Parc Sauvage de La Tour Blanche-Cercles, you can get up close and personal with farm and forest animals, a real treat for curious little ones. But the highlight of the show will be the display of birds of prey, an impressive moment when the majestic birds split the sky before your amazed eyes.

For young nature lovers, every moment can be magical.

The park has been awarded the Dordogne en famille label.

Walks for toddlers
with Randos Nounous

Because travelling with young children can sometimes be a challenge, you can opt for the Randos Nounous, walks specially designed for families. These short, pushchair-friendly routes allow you to discover small villages and their hidden treasures without worrying about getting tired. In Saint-Aulaye, you can stroll through the flower-filled lanes, enjoying the peace and quiet of the village while your children sit in their pushchairs and admire the bright colours of the flower beds.

Child-friendly experiences with the Dordogne en famille label

The Périgord Inattendu is full of service providers with the “Dordogne en famille” label, guaranteeing activities for young and old alike. You’ll be able to try out creative workshops and sporting initiations that will delight the whole family. One of Lucas and Emma’s favourite moments was the pottery workshop, where everyone got their hands dirty and left with their own creation. Seeing their eyes sparkle as they took out their finished pots was a great reward.
