Tèrra Aventura Geocaching made in Nouvelle-Aquitaine

When you’re on holidays, keeping your children busy and happy without overspending isn’t always simple! So when my wife and I heard of the Terra Aventura treasure hunt in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, we were delighted!

We had never tried geocaching and I was a bit weary at the idea of dealing with GPS coordinates… Luckily enough, we found out that there is a free smartphone application (available in English)

Once I had downloaded the app on my phone, we were ready to go! There are over 300 caches in the entire Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, and I was quite happy to see there were several right by our holiday residence!

Obviously, my children were ecstatic at being allowed to manage my Smartphone, and the forest quest we selected was perfect for the hot weather on this particular day! Step by step, the app guided us to each different point of interest and riddle. Each of our answers brought us closer to the treasure! My family and I had come to the area several times in the past few years but never suspected there were such gorgeous back roads! The region’s heritage is incredibly rich and quite fascinating !

Last riddle… and the GPS coordinates turn to green! Yay! We answered each riddle correctly! Suddenly, the treasure’s location appears on the map! Everyone has great fun searching for the Terra Aventura container and suddenly… « Over here! I found it ! »

In the container, there are collectible badges called « Poï’z » (Points Of Interest). We each take one and proudly pin it on our t-shirts ! « When can we do another cache, Mum ? »… Victory ! An outdoor activity that costs absolutely nothing, and that the entire family enjoys !

Villa gallo-romaine de Montcaret

Vestiges of a gallo-romain villa with peristyle and inner courtyard inhabited from the Ist to the VIth century. Polycusped hall, antique baths and preserved mosaics.
The excavations carried out on the site of Montcaret by Jules Formigé between 1922 and 1939 revealed its wealth.
In the 1st and 2nd centuries, a great Gallo-Roman villa was built there. It was transformed in the 4th century: the house was in its prime at that time.
The arrangement of the house is Graeco-Roman.

Musée du Tabac

No! The Tobacco Museum is not a tool for promoting tobacco, nor is it only for smokers!
Its unique collections in Europe evoke the saga of a plant with an exceptional destiny, sometimes divine, sometimes cursed, born and used in America more than 3000 years ago before conquering Africa and then the world. Although it has been put in the dock in its current mode of consumption, it has nevertheless left its mark on all civilizations on a sociological, economic, cultural, artistic and political level.
Discover in its auditorium and thanks to the exhibition of rare pieces, this fact of universal society, the history of tobacco use and objects related to its consumption.
The Tobacco Museum is housed in the Maison Peyrarède, known as Château Henri IV. The architecture of this private mansion, built in the 17th century for a rich bourgeois family, bears witness to the transition from Renaiss

Moulin à papier de la Rouzique

On the left bank of the Dordogne, 20km from Bergerac, the Rouzique paper mill is located west of Couze-et-Saint-Front. Thanks to the river's regular flow, the quality of its water and its location, this village has been the cradle of paper-making in the South-West since the 15th century. The presence of the La Rouzique paper mill is attested as early as 1530. Now the Écono-musée du papier chiffon, it is still in operation.

In the company of the paper-maker and guides from the Au Fil du Temps association, immerse yourself in the world of rag paper. Your guide will tell you all about the history of paper, and explain why the paper mill developed here, between Couze and Dordogne. Visit the various buildings on the site, then discover how small pieces of fabric are transformed into sheets of paper. Every day in summer, make your own sheet and take it with you!
