Sometimes, the best holidays are close to home. You don’t have to fly for hours to faraway places to enjoy some quality time with your loved ones. While many prefer to leave the UK shores behind for their summer holiday, it doesn’t always have to involve a long haul flight. In fact, popping over the English Channel to France can sometimes be all you need to benefit from superb weather and plenty of activities to keep the itinerary jam packed.

Take a look at the holidays available in the Dordogne region of France. Book some cheap Bristol airport parking and fly over to Bergerac. In less than two hours, you will be at this quaint airport on the cusp of the Dordogne, ready to explore what lies ahead.

Hiring a car would be a perfect luxury for this type of holiday. With many of the sights, activities and attractions being far and wide, the freedom of your own car would be an incredibly convenient perk.

Whether it’s enjoying the views as you take a leisurely walk along the Dordogne, or you prefer to explore the river in a kayak, it’s completely up to you. Sailing down the river can introduce you to a new way of discovering these calm waters, giving you the chance to soak up the scenery that passes you. If this sounds like your thing, head for the Bassin Nautique in Tremolat to hire your personal canoe.

If you prefer a little culture, the Chateau d’Hautefort and the Chateau de Beynac are incredible pieces of architecture to feast your eyes on, while Rocamador, a commune set in a gorge, is simply breathtaking.

Whatever your visit to the Dordogne region entails, the climate during the summer months and plenty of sights of interest to add to your itinerary will mean that your stay will be unforgettable. Book your trip and the cheap Bristol airport parking, today.
