Le Moulin de Paulhiac

Daglan, Dordogne

Parc opens: 14 May - 04 Sep

A very friendly parc with truly first class facilities and a wonderful location in the heart of the Dordogne. Beyond the beautifully restored watermill that welcomes you at the entrance, you'll find a parc of welcome contrasts. On the one hand, it's a verdant, rural parc with large grassy pitches set amidst the dappled shade of walnut, oak and apple trees. The facilities on the other hand are very modern, including a fabulous pool complex with three slides, covered pool, impeccable wash blocks and an excellent takeaway and restaurant with wonderful plats du jour! The owners also organise activities in high season, which include popular canoe trips. This is the real heart of the Dordogne too, with rolling wooded hillsides, sleepy, honeycoloured villages, crumbling old farmhouses and castles galore to discover.
