Cycling in the Périgord Noir: pure joy
Our location in the heart of the Périgord Noir, south of Sarlat, makes the holiday village the ideal starting point for cycling rides. Set in Domme, on the edge of the Causses du Quercy Regional Nature Park and surrounded by exceptional heritage (Sarlat, Beynac, Castelnaud, Domme, etc.), it lets you enjoy rides that are as sporty as you want them to be, and rich in scenery and culture. Plateaus, greenways, valley floors, steep climbs, cols: every kind of terrain is right on your doorstep.
Discover our complete package of accommodation, meals and support at the holiday village, for cyclists and for family members less keen on clocking up the miles.
A tailor-made stay for cycling clubs
We are here to advise and help you throughout your route planning.
Les Ventoulines is ideally located: in Domme, at the heart of the “Golden Triangle – Dordogne Valley”, a major heritage site of Aquitaine, with its caves, castles, medieval bastide towns and more.
You will ride on signposted routes and trails suited to every level. Sports clubs and cycling associations will find tailor-made circuits here, combining sport with discovering the area.
For the companions of keen cyclists, there are also much easier routes along the three greenways.
Some sample prices (outside July and August), including bed linen and towels, end-of-stay cleaning and access to the pool and spa area:

One free place for every 20 people.
Important :
Meals are generous and designed for athletes’ needs.
The packed lunch is a buffet where everyone helps themselves to what they like; it is served at the same time as breakfast. The packed lunch on departure day is included in the full-board price.
Breakfast is served early, especially in summer, because we know you prefer to ride in the cool of the morning 😉
The pool and spa area is open until 9 pm, so you can unwind after a day in the saddle.

Accommodation in the heart of nature
We can welcome groups of up to 90 people on a full-board basis.
You stay in small self-contained two-bedroom cottages.
It’s a chance for your group to get together in the heart of nature, in the forest, surrounded by birdsong.
Depending on the size of your group, you eat together in the main restaurant room, seating 50, or in a second room with 40 seats.
Self-catering is possible for up to 40 people; please contact us.
Take a rest!
After dozens of kilometres in the saddle, you can relax on your private terrace before joining your group at the pool or the bar.
And above all, you’ll be able to get a good night’s sleep. In these cottages, you’ll find peace and quiet and excellent bedding. The vacation village is silent from 11 p.m. onwards.
Comfortable!
No need to share your bathroom with strangers. You’ll have your own private bathroom, or a bathroom to share with the occupants of your gîte (see plans below).
Bed linen and towels are provided.
If you fancy a coffee, herbal tea or snack outside group meal times, you’ll find everything you need to prepare or store these snacks in the chalet: coffee makers, hobs, crockery, microwave, fridge with freezer, etc.
The wellness area and swimming pool are open until 9pm, so you can unwind after a day of activities.
Activities for partners
At Les Ventoulines, cyclists’ partners are very welcome, and they will have a rich and enjoyable stay! There is no way they will get bored: the Périgord Noir offers so many different activities that it is hard to list them all. We know several families who have come for a week every year for 10 years and still find new things to discover.
Castles, caves and chasms, prehistoric sites, France’s most beautiful villages, museums, gastronomy… there’s something for everyone. We’re here to advise you on your discoveries. You can find out more about our tourist attractions on our Discover the Périgord Noir page.
