7 good reasons to take a holiday in September, in the heart of Périgord Noir
Summer is drawing to a close... And yet, this is precisely when one of the most wonderful seasons for a getaway begins. September offers a unique experience, especially in a place rich in nature and heritage like the Black Périgord. Located near Sarlat, Camping Maisonneuve is the ideal place to fully enjoy nature and heritage during this period, in a peaceful setting.
Here are seven compelling reasons to spend your holidays in Dordogne with us in September:
Authentic Experience
In September, the campsite regains its tranquillity. Far from the summer bustle, you can enjoy a more intimate escape, directly connected to nature. Imagine waking up to the gentle murmur of the Céou river, with just a few other campers around you, and birdsong as your alarm clock… It’s the perfect time to chat with locals, share a drink with other vacationers, or simply relax with a good book under a tree.
In the Heart of Nature
A September getaway is also about giving yourself some real me-time. Less pressure, no crowds, no obligatory schedule. Camping Maisonneuve, nestled between cliffs, a river, and forest, fosters this reconnection: digital detox, inner reconnection!

Half the Price
C’est la période la plus abordable pour découvrir le Périgord Noir ! En septembre, les tarifs des mobil-homes et emplacements sont souvent divisés par deux au Camping Maisonneuve. De plus, les trajets (train, voiture) sont moins chers et plus fluides, et de nombreux prestataires touristiques proposent des réductions saisonnières.
Neither Heatwave nor Rain
Contrary to popular belief, September often offers one of the most pleasant climates in the Dordogne: mild days with temperatures around 22-26 °C, cooler nights (12-14 °C) perfect for sleeping without mosquito nuisance; sunshine remains generous with little rain. 🌞 Ideal for hiking, sightseeing, canoeing, or picnicking without the extremes of July and August.

The Perfect Setting for Photographers
September captivates photography enthusiasts: the late summer light, golden at dawn or dusk, enhances every shot. With fewer people, it’s easy to capture crowd-free landscapes, resulting in stark, authentic, and often enchanting images.
More Responsible Tourism
The off-season is also an expression of sustainable tourism. It reduces pressure on local resources, supports the regional economy, and encourages a more conscious approach. By choosing Camping Maisonneuve in September, you contribute to a respectful and solidarity-based travel model.
