Parcot farm in the Dordogne
When planning your stay at La Cigaline campsite in the Dordogne, you consulted the map of Périgord and south-west France to find out which must-see places to visit during your vacation in Montpon. Between the vineyards of Bergerac and Saint-Émilion, the fascination of Lascaux and the gastronomic immersion of Sarlat-la-Canéda, we invite you to a bucolic interlude at the Parcot farm, a 15-minute drive from the La Cigaline campsite.
Parcot farm seduces with its architecture and ecosystems
Who hasn’t dreamed of suspending time during their vacations, reconnecting fully with nature and awakening their senses? The Parcot farm in Echourgnac is the perfect place to experience all these sensations. Located 17 km from the La Cigaline*** open-air hotel, the Ferme du Parcot is a complex built of wood and cob in the region’s traditional Double style of architecture. Bordered by a lake and lush vegetation, the Parcot farm has a lot to offer visitors of all ages. For this reason, it’s an excellent idea for a family visit. While history and architecture buffs step back in time and feel the positive vibes of the rural world, children run around the fields and pond, learning the names of the plants and flowers on the estate. Nestled in the forest in the heart of the Double region, with its fragile wetlands, the Parcot farm is of architectural, historical, natural and ornithological interest.
