Tursac, a troglodyte village on the banks of the Vézère river
The Vézère valley is a veritable plunge into prehistory. With sites such as Lascaux, La Roque-Saint-Christophe and Les Eyzies, this valley is full of places marked by the presence of our ancestors. Tursac is no exception, and is home to the troglodyte site of the village of la Madeleine. This site was inhabited by man from prehistoric times to the Middle Ages. Clinging to the hillside, it offers a beautiful view of the Vézère. Tursac's other troglodyte site is the Maison Forte de Reignac. This clifftop castle is built right into the rock and overlooks the Vézère valley. Two must-sees during your camping holiday in Tursac. Children will love the Escape Game at Château de Marsac, a giant escape game in a natural setting. You'll have 1? hours to get in and out of the castle!
An idyllic setting on the banks of the Vézère
As well as its rich prehistoric and medieval heritage, the Vézère valley is also attractive for its landscapes of rolling green hills through which the river flows. When you choose a campsite in Tursac for your holidays in the Périgord Noir, you'll enjoy a peaceful, natural setting that lends itself just as much to lazing by the river as to outdoor activities such as canoeing or hiking.
What to discover around Tursac
Situated in a meander of the Vézère, between La Roque-Saint-Christophe and Les Eyzies-de-Tayac, Tursac lies at the heart of the prehistoric Dordogne. Just a few minutes from the campsite where you're staying, you'll find such spectacular sites as the Roque-Saint-Christophe, carved out of the cliffs, and the Pôle International de la Préhistoire (International Prehistory Centre) at Les Eyzies-de-Tayac.
