Camping in the DordogneTwo of France’s best campsite operators merge this year, making it easy for visitors on a budget to find a top-notch camping site; Le French Time combines Les Castels and the Sites et Paysages groups. Its expansive collection includes leafy and quiet Le Ventoulou, near the pilgrimage site of Rocamadour, where the medieval buildings cling to the cliffs over a tributary of the Dordogne. At the campsite you can play tennis, do canoeing and paddleboarding on the river, or relax by the pool. Also in the region, explore the market at Souillac and caves at Lacave and Padirac. Details Seven nights’ self-catering in a two-bedroom “cottage” sleeping up to six from £390 (lefrenchtime.co.uk).
