Can anyone suggest interesting and fun things for families to see and do in the dordogne region. Kids range in age from 14 to 3. We would be quite happy to travel around the area. Also, we dont have much french (hardly any in fact ) so guided tours of chateaux/caves etc, in french, would not be ideal. But a bit of culture is always good

Hi there,
We visited the Dordogne with a 3 year old a few years ago. We enjoyed the following
Rocamadour - village and castle clinging to side of cliff - fantastic views. Park at the top or bottom and then use the different modes of transport between each level.
Domme - bastide walled town
Le Gouffre de Padirac - caves with river at the bottom - boat ride
Quercyland - water park (we didn't go here)
We went to another park north of Le Bugue that had animals, rides and waterpark.
Don't worry about not speaking French - you can still go round the chateaux without a guide and I'm sure the guide spoke english in the caves.
Enjoy!!
Where are you staying?

Hi there, sorry for the delay in replying to your post, our PC is on the blink 
Thank you for the info. We will be staying near Le Bugue at St. Avit Loisirs campsite. Do you happen to remember the name of the park with the animals, water park etc , north of Le Bugue, by any chance?
Also, how did you find visiting the villages and places like Rocamadour with a small child? Is it difficult to get around with a child's buggy?
