A Stay at Domaine Laborde: Practical Guide & Naturist Escape
Located in Paulhiac, at the gateway to the Périgord between the Lot-et-Garonne and Dordogne regions, Domaine Laborde is an unmissable destination for those who love naturism and true connection with nature. With its oak forests, rolling green hills, cozy cabins, bungalows, and warm atmosphere, this resort is a genuine haven of peace.
Here is a practical guide, travel notes, and tips to help you make the most of your stay at the estate and explore the beautiful surrounding region.
1. Domaine Laborde: Total immersion and the art of living
Upon arrival, the tone is set: all vehicles must be left at the entrance. This intentional choice guarantees absolute calm and a sense of safety that is deeply appreciated throughout the resort.
Naturism is truly respected here (300%): it is the perfect place to spend days without clothes from morning to night, in total simplicity and a spirit of kindness shared by all campers—including a large and loyal community of Dutch visitors who have a special bond with this place.
In terms of accommodation, the estate resembles a lush park featuring camping pitches, as well as cabins and bungalows. For those staying in the lower part of the campsite, along the stream, the atmosphere is deeply immersed in nature.
- Fun fact: Don't be surprised to encounter the local wildlife... it's not uncommon for a little frog, a cat, or some chickens to wander by your pitch ;)
2. Comfort and daily life on-site
The resort combines the charm of a preserved natural environment with well-maintained facilities:
- Relaxation and Wellness: Beyond the large outdoor pool and its slides, the estate offers a quieter indoor pool. To complete your relaxation, the hammam and sauna are available upon request every evening after 5:00 PM.
- Sanitary facilities: Impeccable and clean, with a special touch: showers that open onto nature, allowing you to wash while overlooking the trees.
- Grocery store and bread: Ideal for essentials, it offers a fine selection of local products. Pro tip: Remember to order your fresh bread and pastries the day before, before 6:00 PM. The shop is also your go-to for an early morning coffee before the other outlets open.
- Dining: The resort features a classic restaurant with a highlight: the community-style dinners held every Friday evening (remember to book in advance).
- The new favorite spot:
You cannot leave without visiting the snack bar housed in a shipping container. Its elevated terrace offers an unobstructed view of the estate and the trees—the perfect place to enjoy a local beer, such as the Maltéo.
- Leisure: Additionally, you'll find pétanque courts, ponds, a barbecue area for outdoor cooking, as well as animals and playgrounds for children.
3. What to do in the surrounding area?
Domaine Laborde is perfectly located to explore a rich cultural heritage:
- Monflanquin: A stunning "bastide" village officially ranked among the "Most Beautiful Villages of France" (keep an eye out for the great medieval festivities held around August 15th).
- Villeréal and Issigeac: Two other local gems that are not to be missed nearby.
- Nature and landmarks: Between the various chasms, parks, and the famous Lascaux caves a bit further out, there is no shortage of excursions.
