Dreaming of a vacation in the heart of Périgord Noir, beneath the majestic Château de Beynac? Camping le Capeyrou, located in Beynac-et-Cazenac in Dordogne, embodies this promise of a magical stay on the banks of the crystalline waters of the eponymous river. Rather than battling the uncertainties of a Bordeaux taxi for 155 kilometers of road, discover how a private chauffeur service has become the essential taxi alternative for reaching this dream campsite. Bordeaux Chauffeur Service offers you a seamless pickup from your departure point in the metropolitan area (airport, train station, home or hotel), an experienced driver navigating the Périgord roads, and a relaxed arrival at your destination without stress or fatigue. The taxi alternative is not a superfluous luxury: it's a wise decision that transforms the journey into a pleasant prologue to your vacation. Vtc Bordeaux puts at your disposal a fleet of modern, air-conditioned and spacious vehicles, perfect for transporting families, couples and groups to the gates of Camping le Capeyrou.
Camping le Capeyrou benefits from an extraordinary position that justifies its reputation among heritage and nature enthusiasts. Situated in Beynac-et-Cazenac, a picturesque small village in Périgord Noir backed by the limestone cliffs of the Dordogne, this campsite offers a breathtaking view of the medieval Château de Beynac that rises majestically above the river. This fortress, one of the finest in Périgord, dates from the 12th century and remains intact, dominant, almost menacing in its grandeur. From your pitch at Camping le Capeyrou, you can admire this impressive military architecture, particularly spectacular at sunset when the light gilds the stones and creates dramatic shadows.
The campsite itself offers modern facilities combining comfort with respect for the natural setting. The spacious pitches benefit from generous vegetation, with olive trees and fruit trees creating precious natural shade zones during summer heatwaves. Mobile homes and chalets complement the traditional camping offering, for those who prefer an enhanced level of comfort. The impeccable sanitary facilities, heated swimming pool, and modern communal areas constitute a reception base worthy of a three-star vacation resort. The bilingual reception at Vtc Bordeaux knows that arriving in such a preserved setting justifies taking care of the journey that leads there: this is why the taxi alternative via our service guarantees a harmonious arrival.
Beynac-et-Cazenac itself deserves several pages. This medieval village, classified among the Most Beautiful Villages of France, has retained remarkable authenticity. The golden stone houses pile up on the slopes, following the topography of the cliff. The narrow paved alleyways, often one-way and barely accommodating a car, force visitors to slow down and observe. The château, currently open to visits, remains the property of a private family since the Middle Ages, which explains its impeccable condition. Theatrical activities and historical reenactments animate the château certain weekends, transforming visitors into spectators of a living show.
Camping le Capeyrou is not just a rest base: it's an ideal starting point for exploring a region where nature and history constantly dialogue. Activities begin just a few meters from the campsite.
Canoeing and kayaking stands out as the top attraction. The Dordogne, from Beynac, offers memorable descents. One of the most popular routes leads from Beynac to La Roque-Gageac, 12 kilometers of paddling surrounded by spectacular cliffs. The river is calm and navigable for all levels, from children to novice adults. Local providers rent canoes, kayaks and pedal boats for outings from a few hours to a full day. The descent to Sarlat (approximately 25 kilometers) offers a more adventurous experience for those who wish to paddle for half a day.
Swimming remains a must-do. Several developed beaches along the Dordogne allow for refreshing dips. The water temperature, cool but bearable in summer, invites invigorating swims. Supervised areas guarantee children's safety. In the immediate vicinity of the campsite, a private or semi-private river beach offers a peaceful setting away from the crowds of the main beaches.
Visiting Château de Beynac is almost mandatory. Accessible on foot from the campsite (less than an hour), the château offers panoramic views of the valley from its fortified terraces. Inside, several furnished rooms tell the medieval history of the region. Audio guides available in several languages make the visit accessible to all ages. The spiral staircase ascending to the towers offers a small vertical hike ideal for cooler days.
Hiking trails allow exploration of the Périgord forests. Marked trails of varying difficulty leave from the village or the campsite, winding through oak and chestnut groves. A 2-3 hour hike can lead to viewpoints overlooking the Dordogne. Local guides also offer themed guided hikes: geology, history, flora and fauna.
Visiting La Roque-Gageac, a neighboring village located 15 kilometers by canoe or a few minutes by car, constitutes a classic excursion. Its troglodyte houses, built into the cliff face, offer a unique architectural spectacle. The exotic gardens of La Roque-Gageac add a touch of tropical color to the austere Périgord landscape. Restaurants with terraces directly overlooking the river offer dream settings for lunch.
Domme, a fortified village on the other side of the Dordogne, boasts intact ramparts and historic bastions. Its medieval underground passages also house a cave adorned with stalactites and stalagmites. A day in Domme, combined with a canoe crossing, creates a memorable tourist itinerary.
Farmers' markets of Périgord Noir are legendary. The Sarlat market, approximately 25 kilometers south, offers each morning a display of regional products: foie gras, truffles, walnuts, seasonal fruits and vegetables. Summer night markets transform village squares into gastronomic feasts under the stars.
Prehistoric caves enrich historical knowledge. Although Lascaux is 40 kilometers away, closer caves like Font-de-Gaume or Abri du Cap Blanc offer paintings and engravings dating back 15,000 years. These visits fascinate children and adults alike, connecting visitors to prehistoric generations.
The journey from Bordeaux to Camping le Capeyrou in Beynac-et-Cazenac extends approximately 155 kilometers, requiring about 1 hour and 45 minutes under normal road conditions. The route uses the main highways toward Périgord, with a gradual transition from the Bordeaux wine terroir to the rockier landscapes of Périgord Noir.
The vehicle leaves Bordeaux via the north or east depending on your precise starting point, then generally takes the A89 motorway toward Limoges. After 60-70 kilometers, the route turns toward the departmental roads that penetrate Périgord. Traffic lightens considerably once beyond the Bordeaux metropolitan area, except during summer periods of heavy tourist traffic. July-August traffic jams can add 20 to 40 minutes to the journey. Bordeaux Chauffeur Service optimizes its route based on the time of day and season, selecting the least congested roads. Périgord secondary roads often offer more pleasant routes, with varied landscapes and picturesque villages.
The road itself tells a story. Leaving the Bordeaux wine lands, you'll observe the transition toward the limestone causses of Périgord, with their dense forests and accentuated elevations. The villages you'll pass through offer gradual immersion into local culture. Bordeaux Chauffeur Service makes this journey pleasant rather than tiring: an experienced driver navigates these roads with confidence, an air-conditioned vehicle offers optimal comfort, and you can rest rather than concentrate on the road.
The rate for your private chauffeur transfer from Bordeaux to Camping le Capeyrou depends on the type of vehicle selected and your specific needs.
Sedan package (4-5 seats, ideal for couples and small families): For the 155-kilometer distance and estimated duration of 1 hour 45 minutes, the rate calculated according to the standard formula (155 km × €1.60 + 1h45 × €26/hour) reaches €294. This sedan offers excellent comfort with a trunk volume suitable for vacation luggage and quality air conditioning for a long journey. It's the taxi alternative for those traveling as a couple or small family.
Minivan/van package (7-8 seats, ideal for large families and groups): For the same journey, the van rate (155 km × €1.90 + 1h45 × €24/hour) is set at €337. The van allows comfortable distribution of passengers and offers significantly superior trunk capacity, ideal for families with children and their camping equipment. The taxi alternative in a van also means wider doors and easier access for people with reduced mobility.
These rates include complete services: professional driver, pickup from your departure point (Bordeaux home, hotel, airport or train station), direct drop-off at Camping le Capeyrou. No supplements for tolls (depending on route), for luggage within reasonable limits, or for short waiting time at the campsite in case of schedule delays. Rates are fixed and without surprises, unlike taxis where fees accumulate kilometer by kilometer.
To obtain a rate confirmation and book, contact Vtc Bordeaux via vtc-bordeaux-chauffeur.com/reserver, call +33 75 75 98 900, or send an email to Contact@vtc-bordeaux-chauffeur.fr. A secure reservation guarantees you the quoted rate and vehicle availability.
Choosing a private chauffeur service rather than a taxi to reach Camping le Capeyrou stems from a rational analysis based on several objective criteria. The taxi alternative offered by Vtc Bordeaux provides distinct and measurable advantages.
Booking reliability: A chauffeur service booked in advance guarantees availability and exact schedule. You know the driver's name, the vehicle registration, and the precise time of arrival. For a transfer to a campsite with limited reception hours, this certainty is valuable. The traditional taxi alternative eliminates uncertainty: no waiting at the roadside, no calls to multiple dispatch centers, no risk of not finding an available taxi.
Superior comfort for long journeys: The sedan or van offers superior comfort to standard Bordeaux taxis. Ergonomic seats, efficient air conditioning, quiet operation, legroom: these elements transform 1h45 of travel. For a family with children, this aspect is particularly important. The taxi alternative in a minivan also means that nobody feels cramped.
Rate transparency: A fixed flat rate known in advance eliminates surprises. You know exactly what you'll pay: €294 for sedan, €337 for van. No running meter with supplements, no hidden fees, no surcharges due to traffic jams. This financial clarity facilitates budgeting for your stay. The taxi alternative offers a certainty that a taxi meter can never guarantee.
Service professionalism: Private chauffeur drivers undergo more rigorous training than taxis. Bordeaux Chauffeur Service selects drivers experienced in tourist transfer services. Your driver won't just drive: they'll offer advice on regional attractions, handle unexpected detours gracefully, and adapt their driving style to your preference (quick trip or pedagogical tour). The taxi alternative means courteous interaction and service-oriented approach.
Flexibility for families and groups: Unlike taxis where size is limited, the chauffeur service offers options adapted to all groups. Couple? Sedan sufficient. Large family? Spacious van. Group of friends? Several coordinated vehicles. The taxi alternative in a van allows everyone to stretch out comfortably without feeling packed in.
Practical luggage management: A campsite requires equipment: tents, camping chairs, coolers, etc. A chauffeur service offers space for all of this. Drivers help with loading and unloading, maximizing space utilization. The taxi alternative in a van often includes practical assistance that taxis don't provide.

Camping le Capeyrou offers a strategic location for exploring an entire region of Périgord. Your stay can include much more than simple relaxation at the campsite.
The Dordogne Valley extends over 120 kilometers of spectacular landscapes. Westward from Beynac, you can visit Bergerac with its renowned vineyards and Renaissance monuments. The valley châteaux (Castelnaud, Marqueyssac, Fénelon) each offer a different historical perspective. A week at the campsite allows visiting 3-4 châteaux without rushing.
Sarlat-la-Canéda, 30 kilometers south, constitutes a mandatory excursion. This perfectly preserved medieval town offers labyrinthine alleyways, Renaissance mansions, and farmers' markets renowned for quality and variety. Sarlat restaurants offer authentic Périgord gastronomy at reasonable prices.
Périgord Noir around the campsite hides other Most Beautiful Villages of France: Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère with its caves, Castelnaud-la-Chapelle with its feudal château more austere than Beynac. Each village holds surprises and distinct atmospheres.
Prehistoric caves enrich your historical knowledge. Font-de-Gaume, 40 kilometers away, offers one of the finest collections of Paleolithic paintings accessible to the public. Essential guided tours explain ancient artists' techniques.
Outdoor activities extend beyond canoeing. Climbing on limestone cliffs (guided or independent depending on level), horseback riding, mountain biking on marked trails: the region offers diversity for all ages and physical conditions.
Local gastronomy deserves an entire chapter. Beynac restaurants offer menus highlighting foie gras, duck breast, black truffles and walnut oil. Farmers' markets offer quality products at prices well below restaurants. The wine region also produces good quality AOC Périgord wines.
When is the best time to book my chauffeur service to Camping le Capeyrou?
Book at least 24 hours before your journey to ensure availability and preparation. Ideally, book a week in advance for summer periods (July-August) when demand is high. For off-season transfers (September, April-May), a few days suffice. Our online platform gives you instant visibility of availability and deadlines.
Can the chauffeur service help me load my camping equipment?
Yes, our drivers assist with loading and unloading luggage and equipment. They know how to optimize trunk and vehicle space. However, if you have particularly bulky or heavy equipment (personal canoe, group equipment), mention it when booking so we can confirm compatibility with the selected vehicle.
Can you suggest restaurants or activities in Beynac?
Absolutely. Our drivers know the region very well and can make recommendations based on your profile (families, couples, food lovers, history enthusiasts, etc.). Additionally, the confirmation email includes suggestions for popular attractions and restaurants. Don't hesitate to ask your driver during the transfer: they'll be happy to share their local knowledge.
