Camping Dordogne » Discover the Duellas mill

Moulin du Duellas and Gabare

Would you like to take a peaceful trip along a river? Come aboard the Moulin du Duellas gabare at Saint-Martial-d’Artenset and relive the past of the gabariers during a guided tour. If you’ve chosen the Dordogne as your vacation destination, this tourist site is well worth a visit. Take the time to discover it during your stay at the Dordogne La Cigaline campsite. The campsite is 7 km from Le Moulin. So it only takes 8 minutes to get there.

Le Moulin du Duellas

Kept in the same family for over a century , this milling heritage was used to produce flour, cut wood and distribute electricity. In 1997, this former water mill was transformed into a tourist and cultural site. Art exhibitions are held here throughout the season. Admission is free from May to September. Visit the museum and enjoy the art on display during your vacation at our campsite near Périgueux.

The gabare

From your mobile home in the Dordogne, take a guided cruise of over an hour aboard a gabare. This traditional boat will take you on a journey back in time to discover the daily life of the gabariers of yesteryear. You’ll be amazed by the wealth of flora and fauna you’ll encounter on this unusual trip. You’ll also experience the only manual lock still in operation. The tour is led by a professional team in a calm and relaxing setting from May to September.

Duellas Restaurant

After a long boat trip or a visit to the Duellas garden, it’s time to indulge your palate and awaken your taste buds. Set in an idyllic green setting, the Moulin du Duellas restaurant is the ideal place to recharge your batteries for a gourmet break. You can enjoy traditional cuisine rich in authentic flavors on the banks of the Isle. The menu changes every month, always featuring local produce. In this corner, you can enjoy a unique taste experience in a setting close to nature.

The educational and ecological garden

This site is free to visit. Along the way, you’ll be guided by explanatory tapes to discover the various medicinal and aromatic plants found in the garden. The association “Pour les Enfants du Pays de Beleyme” organizes many workshops in this area. These fun activities for children highlight the rich natural heritage and variety of species that live not far from our riverside campsite in the Dordogne.
