The cingle at Trémolat, an exceptional setting for a camping holiday on the banks of the Dordogne river
In the South-West, particularly in the Dordogne and the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, the word cingle is used to describe the meander of a river. It refers to a green and yellow snake that lives in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The meandering of the Dordogne through lush green landscapes dotted with fields of wheat or sunflowers evokes the undulations of this snake as it moves. So it's with the Cingle de Trémolat as a backdrop that you'll spend your camping holiday in the Dordogne. On the heights of the Cingle de Trémolat, a viewpoint awaits you with a magnificent panorama of the loops of the River Dordogne. An orientation table helps you to identify the various sites that dot the landscape. Not far away, the "lovers' rock" overlooks the cingle at Trémolat, offering an uninterrupted view of the Dordogne. A perfect conclusion to a hike from your campsite on the banks of the Dordogne at Trémolat.
