Parc Highlights

  • This well-kept parc has wonderful, tropical gardens

  • Excellent restaurant found in a lovely courtyard

  • You'll love the parc's pretty, riverside location

Enjoying a wonderfully verdant location, this friendly parc is an ideal place to enjoy the natural beauty of the Dordogne.

With excellent canoeing too, it’s a Eurocamp favourite. All credit for the excellence of this parc is due to the wonderful Dutch owners. Their warmth and friendliness is legendary among Eurocamp families, who return time and again to Le Paradis. The superb facilities include two large swimming pools, all surrounded by attractive trees, flowering shrubs and tennis courts. However, the parc’s focal point is the lovely little courtyard with its popular bar and restaurant. In high season, an ‘animateur’ arranges a variety of sports events, ‘soirées’, weekly discos in the bar and daily canoe or kayak trips on the River Vézère, which flows right past the parc. That’s the beauty of Le Paradis, it is set amidst France’s loveliest countryside, close to the meandering rivers of the Dordogne.

Neighbouring pitches are available to book on this parc. Please call our travel advisors to check availability for the 2012 season.
