When the weather heats up in the summer a day lazing by the pool and enjoying some water activities is perfect and Bergerac Aqua Park is open every day from the middle of June to the end of September.

Equipment for ping pong and beach volley ball is also available for when you fancy a break from the pools and there is a bouncy castle too for young children.
Prehisto Park
The Prehisto Park at Tursac in the central Dordogne area is situated in a pleasant wooded valley which is very likely the kind of area that prehistoric man would have chosen for a settlement.
A circular walk around the valley leads you past a number of scenes that have been created to represent aspects of prehistoric life. There are also various scenes of life at the settlement with family members involved in various different activities. Some of the displays also have an audio element. As you walk around the park the scenes progress from ones depicting neanderthal man to scenes depicting our direct ancestors - Cro-Magnon man.
