Kooky campsite in the Dordogne
Open from 27 April to 14 October 2018
Parenthèses imaginaires is a quirky, unique campsite in the heart of the Dordogne’s Parc naturel régional Périgord Limousin, near the towns of Saint-Jean-de-Côle, Brantôme, Thiviers and Nontron.
Our three-star campsite is a fun and family-friendly place to enjoy the great outdoors. We have a range of different chalets to suit all tastes. Stay in a lakeside hut, go glamping, or find your own secluded little patch of green to pitch your tent. Available for both weekend breaks and longer stays.
We also cater for events. With both a reception hall and a meeting room on site, this is the perfect spot for a rural wedding, a birthday, a family get-together, or for a seminar.
At Parenthèses imaginaires, we believe in sustainable tourism and have been awarded the “Valeurs Parc naturel régional” designation.
Lakeside chalets
Our lakeside chalets are situated on the banks of our bathing lake. They can each accommodate 2 or 4 people and have been designed to be spacious and practical, but with playfully stylish interiors. Great for all you water-babies, and also for carping enthusiasts!
Vintage chalets
Our vintage chalets are large and can comfortably house a family of 5. Playfully decorated and ideally situated to keep small kids entertained, they’re the perfect place to enjoy a peaceful break surrounded by the peaceful french countryside.
Large 7-person gite
This large ecolodge sits at the edge of a forest and is perfect for large families or small groups of friends. It can comfortably accommodate 7 people and boasts a large kitchen, two bedrooms, two wash-rooms and a large mezzanine. For the eco-minded, it also has dry toilets.
Glamping huts
Our glamping huts house 2-4 persons. One is designed specifically with new parents in mind and another is ideal for groups of friends. Don’t be fooled by their modest exteriors: on the inside, each one has its own unique character: bohemian, romantic, daydreamer…
Nature camping
Each one of our camping pitches is its own little patch of green. Bordered by hedges, they can accommodate from 1-8 people in a tent. Each pitch has mains electricity and a four-man picnic table. They’re conveniently located near to the wash-huts and the barbecue.
EcoLodge
The Fisherman’s lodge is more than just an ecolodge: it’s a truly unique, romantic experience for nature lovers. Off on its own, in the heart of a forest on the edge of our fishing lake, it will transport you to your own private paradise where the land meets the water.
Sports and bathing
On-site and free to use
Nature walks, jogging, bathing, ping pong, mini-golf… all these activities and more are at your disposal on site. Explore a little farther and discover the many other activities this area has to offer: canoeing, tree-top adventure parks, and more.
Original games
On-site and free to use
Holidays are all about having a good time, and we’ve made sure you will here. We have board games, giant-size games, and even some original creations of our own such as our Land art cabin, geocaching, a puzzle trail, and a whole host of other special events throughout the summer.
Well-being
It’s all around you
This is a place in which well-being and relaxation come naturally. All you have to do is give yourself up to them. Allow yourself to be enchanted by the nature trails, the vistas, the wildlife, the tranquillity… Forget all your worries and let it all carry you away.
Function rooms
May, June and September
We have two function rooms on our site: the reception hall and the meeting room. Each has a capacity of 30-100 people. Situated on the banks of our lake, both are ideal for hosting family get-togethers, birthdays, marriages, seminars and other events.
Private rental
May, June and September
You can have the place all to yourself by renting the reception hall, all the chalets and the outdoor facilities (pool, miniature golf, bathing lake etc). Your guests will be able to enjoy all our campsite has to offer. It is the ideal place to organise a wedding, birthday, family celebration or seminar.
Rural weddings
May, June and September
If you want to get in touch with nature on your wedding day, Parenthèses imaginaires is the perfect place. Picture a rustic, non-denominational ceremony and a lakeside reception followed by a photo-shoot with the beautiful French countryside as the backdrop.
Sustainable Tourism
Here in the heart of the Périgord-Limousin Natural Park, we are committed to sustainable tourism. Our eco-friendly practises help preserve the environment and improve our well-being and yours. Recycling, composting, use of energy-saving bulbs… these are just some of the measures that we take.
