Ideally situated in the "Heart of France" within
a few kilometres of the N21, a convenient day’s drive from the
central Channel ports, Parc Verger has been developed by Bob and Di
Banks in a beautiful part of the Perigord/Limousin Parc Naturel. The
whole area is a joy to see, with forests and lakes, and of course the
roads are a pleasure to use, with mainly excellent surfaces and little
traffic.
Just
a thirty-minute drive from Limoges, with its well-known porcelain museum
and factories, Perigueux, Angouleme and Poitiers are all also an easy
drive away. There are chateaux to visit in the local area, such as the
Chateau de Brie, just 8km away, and many other places of interest, including
the village of Oradour sur Glane, all of whose inhabitants were executed
in the Second World War. The village now stands as a permanent memorial
to them, and a visit here is a must when staying in the area.
For
cyclists and walkers there is much to enjoy. Less than 100 yards from
Park Verger is a mainly level 15km path that runs from Oradour sur Vayres
to Chalus, along the line of an old railway track, whilst for those
wanting more strenuous exercise there are many attractive routes to
places of interest. Cycles are available at Parc Verger if you do not
carry your own.
So
make Parc Verger your natural stopping-off point whilst in France –
the first French site designed for RVs and motorhomes with large fully-serviced
hard standings and plenty of manœuvring room. A day’s drive
from the Channel ports (from Le Havre to Roscoff - rather longer from
Calais, but many visitors have achieved this in a day), and a day’s
drive from the Spanish border – the perfect location, with the
plus factors of the beautiful Limousin to enjoy whilst you are here.
Parc
Verger welcomes visitors with handicaps
Wheelchair users: Our pitches are level, and
whilst they are graveled, we have interlocking tiles to ease
the path of a wheelchair. Our sanitaire is not fully wheelchair-friendly
at present, as the external slope is steeper than recommended,
and there are steps up into the shower-tray. A new sanitaire
unit is in course of preparation for those of our guests who
are wheelchair users, and we will post information on this website
as construction develops.
All
guests with a disability are requested to advise us of any special
needs in advance of booking so that we can discuss their requirements
and consider whether we can provide the facilities needed. Where
we can we will!
