Soleil Plage

Vitrac, Dordogne

Parc opens: 14 May - 11 Sep

An excellent parc with a spectacular situation in the green heart of the Dordogne. Lying on the banks of the gently flowing Dordogne, Soleil Plage enjoys a superb setting that is perfect for a family holiday. It has two small beaches, both situated on one of the loveliest stretches of the river, which are favourite spots for both swimming and canoeing. The parc itself offers you an excellent heated pool complex, with waterslides for the children and a Jacuzzi for you to laze in. And at the end of the day, you'll find that the excellent restaurant, which is just one of the amenities housed in converted Périgordin farm buildings, makes for a wonderful evening. You are also perfectly situated for visiting the famous sights here. Sarlat is only a short drive from the parc and the beautiful riverside towns of La Roque-Gageac and Beynac are both accessible by road or river.
