The village of Vergt

Less than 3 km from the campsite, Vergt is a lively little medieval town offering a full range of shops and services to make your stay easier.. Here you’ll find the Parc du Croquant, a pump track, a sports ground for sports enthusiasts, and a community centre that regularly hosts events and film screenings.

Throughout the summer, the town comes alive with a host of events. On Mondays, bonfire concerts create a warm and friendly atmosphere. On Tuesday evenings, the night markets invite you to stroll amongst food stalls and local craftspeople. On Wednesday and Friday evenings, a medieval show transports young and old alike to another era.
Added to this are the traditional Friday morning market, a real weekly highlight, and the farmers’ market on Sundays, ideal for discovering local flavours. Vergt is a hub of energy, tradition and conviviality, where everyone can find something to make the most of their stay.

Vergt is also recognised as the capital of the Périgord Strawberry, a local emblem proudly displayed on its coat of arms. Holding a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status since 2004, the Périgord Strawberry is distinguished by its sweet, well-balanced and highly fragrant fruit, grown in the heart of the Dordogne by dedicated growers.
Every spring, Vergt celebrates this exceptional product at the Strawberry Festival, an unmissable festive event centred around this jewel of the Périgord region.

Val-de-Louyre-et-Caudeau…

16 km from Neufont, the commune of Val-de-Louyre-et-Caudeau reveals the authentic Périgord, blending nature, history and gastronomy, with three villages each boasting their own distinct character.

Sainte-Alvère has preserved many traces of its heritage, including the ruins of Lostanges Castle and the Church of St Pierre es Liens, both listed in the supplementary inventory of historic monuments.

The Winter Truffle Market, established in 1987, has made it the capital of the Périgord truffle.

Among the dozen or so fountains recorded in Saint-Laurent des Bâtons, one is said to have the power to cure rheumatism. Pilgrims who were cured are said to have left their crutches there as a token of gratitude. The biennial Fête des Bâtons pays tribute to this object. Echoing the pilgrims of the Way of St James and the legend of the spring from which the village is said to take its name, walking sticks have been created by a local craftsman.

Cendrieux is a village steeped in history, having been home to one of the most significant resistance groups in the Périgord in 1943, the Maquis de Durestal, and, on a completely different note, the Napoleon Museum, a unique testament to imperial history.

This is also where the strawberry-growing region begins.
