D116, 19120, Altillac
Been here?
Riverside spot on the Dordogne with pebble beach and dense shade from mature trees. Narrow, rough access track unsuitable for large motorhomes; vans can manage with care but tight maneuvers are expected. Space for approximately two vehicles; respect ongoing fishermen's ability to move their cars. Beautiful but isolated; overnight stays are straightforward when conditions permit.

Perfectly quiet, with a lightly used small road nearby. Two possible spaces. The track is rough but passable. Leave room for fishermen's cars so they can manoeuvre too.Translating
Great spot, but not accessible to motorhomes; even with my van I found the access challenging.Translating
Nice place below a not-very-busy road. The ground is flat under the trees, with the river right beside it. The site is clean and perfect for one night.Translating
Pleasant place despite a technical access road. However, the experience was spoiled by a cyclist behaving openly in a disturbing, harassing, and threatening manner. A man in his fifties wearing glasses, probably from the area. We packed up quickly to feel safe. We therefore advise being very cautious, especially women.Translating
Ideal place to spend the night in a van. Difficult access for motorhomes. I had no mosquitoes in late August. The road above is very quiet at night. Wonderful bucolic view of the Dordogne, the little pebble beach, and the trees when waking up. Tip: have breakfast at Pilea Café in Beaulieu!Translating
Difficult access to this spot, but if you continue along the road away from Beaulieu, there are other spots with possible river access. Two paths descend on the left at the crossroads, and access is easier.Translating
Very beautiful site despite the mosquitoes.Translating
The place looks very beautiful and peaceful, but we arrived at night and, as soon as we opened the door, two hornets attracted by the light entered the van. Our daughter was stung.Translating
Very pretty, but the track is extremely angular; risk of overturning in a 3-metre-high motorhome.Translating
We just spent the night here. Superb and truly isolated place in the middle of nature. However, access is quite discouraging. Watch out for your paintwork, as branches scrape along the access track. Advice: do not arrive at night.Translating
Space for approximately four vehicles. Two level spaces and two somewhat uneven ones. A couple of fishermen have left their vehicles here. Shade and no mosquitoes or insects. Located beside the road; if there is no traffic, you barely notice it. We slept very well.Translating
Exceptional spot in the middle of nature. Flat area on arrival. Suitable for vans; motorhomes are okay if not too large, but you must be careful. Quite a few mosquitoes—it is beside a river, so come prepared. Some fishermen came during the evening and were very friendly. The road above has very little traffic.Translating
Very quiet in May, with no mosquitoes; the road above is quiet too. Nothing to complain about—a superb little spot for the night.Translating
Quiet place by the river. The road above has little traffic during the day and is deserted at night. The access track is narrow and has many potholes, but vans pass easily. Ideal for one vehicle.Translating
Pretty little spot beside the Dordogne, probably difficult to access with a motorhome; easy with a van. Lots of traffic during the day, but it should be quieter at night.Translating
Pretty spot in the middle of nature, along the river! Impossible access for motorhomes.Translating
Superb spot by the water. Road noise is not a problem except when people honk; otherwise it is quiet and we saw almost no one. Fishermen arrive early in the morning at 6:30—they were very kind and quiet—or late in the evening, leaving once the sun has set.Translating
Great spot, beware of hornets.Translating
Relatively flat space, sufficient for our 7.50 m motorhome. Quiet, with very little traffic—three cars in two hours.Translating
