Aire de camping-car de Castillonnès (Lot et Garonne)

Just 25 km south of Bergerac, the charming village of Castillonnès awaits your visit! Located in the heart of a historic region, Castillonnès has been a fortified town since the 12th century. Some of its ramparts are still visible, so take the time to stroll through the historic town center! A warm atmosphere prevails in the town, thanks in particular to the white stones and rocks used, which are typical of the region. These offer beautiful colors, especially at sunset! The village is also at the heart of several well-known hiking trails. The long-distance hiking trail GR 654, more commonly known as "Via Lemovicensis," is a branch of the path leading to Santiago de Compostela. Walk this historic route and immerse yourself in the various stories that have built its reputation. This path is one of the four main French routes and offers peaceful walks in the heart of nature. It starts in the Ardennes in Belgium and joins the other French routes in the Pyrenees. It's a great opportunity to meet other hikers from all over Europe. The region was also home to many lords during the Middle Ages. Thus, there are many castles in the surrounding area. For example, explore the Château de Bridoire, located 19 km away, which is classified as a French Historical Monument. At 30 km, you will find the Abbey of Cadouin, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was under the influence of this religious building that the town of Castillonnès was created.
