Unguided visit:
The park features a learning trail in 33 steps. Nicely illustrated messages provide information on the wildlife, flora, geography and history of the Dordogne valley.

Educational visits:
During a guided walk up to the Belvedere visitors learn about the landscape, vegetation and its adaptation  to the local conditions, the architectural arrangement of the park and boxwood pruning.

Discovery trail:
A game-playing questionnaire based on the learning trail guides the children through the discovery of the park.

Workshop visit:
The discovery paths allow the children to develop their sense of observation and their awareness to the issue of environmental protection.

Rock-climbing:
The cliffs overhanging the Dordogne have been specially fitted out for rock-climbing learners. All necessary equipment is supplied (ropes, harness). This activity is only for children of upper elementary school age. Depending on how many children attend, there will be one or two instructors on the site.

Morning or afternoon activities in half-groups alternating with a visit of the park are available.
