Base de loisir de Poltrot is a public 'recreation park' at only 9km from La Moulinasse. The park is surrounded by a bend in the River Dronne and is freely accessible. You can play in the River Dronne, get lost in a green labyrinth, try your hand at archery, tackle an orienteering course or take the treetop adventure course. On the grounds, you’ll also find the Moulin de Poltrot and a guingette (open-air brasserie). Booking is required for the activities and/or a visit to the watermill.

Do you like the way Tarzan swings between the trees (although on a pulley instead of a liana)? In Dordogne there are several accrobranche-courses between the treetops; of course professionally secured. Double Accro in Saint-Aulaye, a 15-minute drive away, offers different courses for different age groups (from 3 years old) and for different levels of courage. The base de loisirs Poltrot, also 15 minutes from La Moulinasse, offers 2 fun courses. In the direction of Perigueux (Cornille Avonture) and Bergerac (accrozarbres) there are larger parks that offers also laser-games.

Every year, a maize maze is created near the Tourbières de Vendoire nature reserve. If you don’t want to get lost, you’ll have to solve the puzzles correctly! You can explore the nature reserve on your own or with a guide. For children, there are rucksacks available to hire containing tasks and the necessary exploration equipment (magnifying glass, etc.). You can extend your walk through the nature reserve with a detour to the underground ‘chapel’ of Gurat.
