To help you decide the places that your children will most enjoy we decided to list here the top 10 things our children liked to do in the Dordogne.  This is not a scientific process as children tend to only remember the things they have done on recent holidays and obviously it is influence by the child's age and whether they are a boy and a girl.  The list that follows is averaged over 7 children, 2 boys and 5 girls, ranging in age from 6 to 16.

1. Canoeing on the Dordogne (left).  Magnificent scenery.  Good wholesome fun!

2. The Corn Maze.  Splendid challenge even for the young ones.
