Heritage
At Le Buisson it is totally safe to swim in the Dordogne River from the 800m-long, supervised beach.

One of the most interesting excursions to make in the area is to the Planbuisson Botanical Gardens which house a superb collection of bamboo and Graminaceae.

Come discover the caves of Maxange, caverns that are exceptional because of their concretions, which are sizeable and of high quality. You will see classic stalactites and stalagmites, but, above all, the eccentric cyrstallised panels, which are ablsolutely remarkable. The density and quality of this type of concretion make a rare group in this cavern.

Cabans, an old fishing village with a ford across the Dordogne, has a beautiful Romanesque church - St Pierre de Cabans - which is well worth a visit.
