AUBETERRE-
SUR-DRONNE
At the gateway to the Dordogne, Aubeterre is administratively
attached to the Charente county but from an architectural, cultural
and gastronomic point of view, it has its roots in the Perigord.
As such, the village deserves its place in this guide and your visit!

Acrobatic trails in the trees promise fresh air
and thrills. At the gateway to the Périgueux
region, in Vergtaventures Park, there’s a tree
to match each expectation and every physical
capacity. The courses are adapted individually
according to level, for the fainthearted
to the fearless…!

FAMILY OUTINGS
If your children are fascinated by the heroic
world of knights and princesses, visit
Castelnaud fortified castle, entirely devoted
to the art of war in the Middle Ages. In
addition to free or guided tours, thematic
educational workshops give children
an insight into a wide range of popular
subjects such as: crests, medieval military
architecture, weapons and armour, the art
of calligraphy, the secrets of building and
dining in the Middle Ages.
Like a Medieval Knight
A little over 6 miles from the Lascaux caves,
Le Conquil is a site with a novel approach to
Prehistory. You can visit the shelters below the
rock (troglodytic sites) where our ancestors
used to sleep, and wander around the
dinosaur park. Every day in summertime there
is a thematic demonstration: flint-knapping,
fire lighting, cave-art, adornment…
