The Saint-Pardoux Church is an emblematic Romanesque building in the Dordogne region, particularly in Saint-Pardoux-et-Vielvic, and has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1925. Built in the 12th century, it retains its single barrel-vaulted nave and a choir with a semicircular apse. A major renovation carried out in the 17th-18th centuries redefined its western façade and added a bell tower arcade. 🏛️ Architecture and Heritage Plan and structure: a single nave preceded by a Romanesque choir, with a pointed barrel vault and triumphal arch resting on 13th-century engaged columns. Decoration: vegetal capitals and archivolts adorned with geometric motifs (chevrons, triangles, rays), typical of Auvergne Romanesque art. Bell tower: bell tower arcade or pediment, rebuilt in the 17th-18th centuries, typical of the Périgord region. ⛪ History Founded in the 12th century, the church was remodeled in the 13th century with the addition of side chapels and ribbed vaults. Its atypical structure—not oriented toward the east—reflects of a plan adapted to the terrain and the needs of the community

Better equipped than many campsites! The restrooms are super clean, and they even provide toilet paper and soap. The shower costs €1 (coin-operated) and runs for 8 minutes. Bike washing (including cleaner) is free. There's also a garage for bike parking, which you can lock if you have a lock with you. We loved it!

The old road called "Chemin Chevaleret" connected Poitiers to the sea. The Roman bridge is a witness to this trade route at the time of Roman Gaul. It is an idyllic place to take a break or cool off with your feet in the water.

The Touche Poupard dam is a powerful construction. From the road that runs through it, you can admire the view of the lake and the steep drop off on the other side.

Here you will walk along a small dirt path, then go up and over a small pedestrian bridge. Facing the immensity of the lake, this path and this bridge will seem intimate to you.
