Fun and entertainment Périgord Noir

The Gouyates are full of energy and ideas! As managers of the Le Bugue wine bar, they are taking over the establishment with great energy. In addition to the classic wine cellar business, Virginie and Dominique want to offer a range of snacks in the form of gourmet boards, tartines and salads. The ingredients to be tasted are 100% local and the wines 70% sourced. Dominique, a lover of the Domaine de Château Mondoyen, which is the establishment's benchmark, is the only one to offer this wine in Le Bugue.

This district bar, which is close to the employment economy area, offers the possibility of eating on the thumb, whether it is a oignons pie at 5,50 €, a home-to-home home at 6,50 € or a ceps omelet with French fries at € 10, all served with French fries and salad. 2,60 € sandwiches are crispy, preferably for the crickets of the country. But the map also offers meat, pasta, salads, etc., for those who have more time to settle. The suporters of the Sarlat F.C. are found there.

What a program! Escape games at Commarque in the Périgord, and Bonaguil in the Lot, as well as murder parties at various locations in the Dordogne during the summer. While escape games for groups of 3 or more players will delight fans of the genre, murder parties in various summer locations will appeal to families and novices alike. In 2023, Carlux and Le Conquil played host to these immersive, collaborative investigations, much to the delight of participants. The investigations are well-crafted, and the documents are up to the task!

Come and defy death in the heart of the medieval town of Domme. Will you be able to solve the riddles that will keep you locked up for an hour and regain your freedom? Nothing is less certain! Make the most of your summer vacations or a detour to this superb town to immerse yourself in the mysteries and enigmas of this escape game, scripted by the same author as Belvès. You'll have to use your brains, but don't worry, there's no need to exert yourself!

The "Univerland" activity and leisure center in Le Bugue is home to a 1,000 m² maze unlike any other. Through 7 different environments, become explorers and solve 25 riddles with your family, to discover prehistory from a different, fun perspective. The games, designed to appeal primarily to young visitors, also allow older children to discover Cro-Magnon man, his way of life and the animals of the time. 13 other activities, spread across the Univerland sites at Les Eyzies, Journiac and Le Bugue, await you!

For a week, Montignac vibrates to the rhythm of music and folklore from around the world. Shows and concerts are on the program, as are craft markets and exhibitions, notably in the Salle Jean Macé, which becomes a veritable treasure trove throughout the summer. Since 1981, groups and troupes from all over the world have been sharing their heritage at Montignac, along with some of the biggest names in contemporary music. In 2024, reggae star Yaniss Odua opens the festival.

A member of the very active Ciné Passion en Périgord network since 1986, Le Vox cinema is a Montignac institution. Eric, Franck and Marie Hélène keep this eclectic, cutting-edge cinema alive all year round. They leave no audience out with their selection, which includes films in VO, blockbusters and children's films, as well as mini-festivals, notably dedicated to short films, theme evenings and meetings. More than just a cinema, it's a place for cultural mediation and discovery.

It's a funny place as we like it! First of all, it's a bar-tobacco shop where you can also eat, but also and above all a place to meet and exchange ideas around Scrabble afternoons, writing and dance workshops or "knitting" meetings, concerts, and various events often around music. Occasionally, it is also an exhibition hall. In short, the Marjolaine, Marjo for the regulars, is a place of life and good mood, a must in Plazac. Without Marjo, life in the village would certainly not be the same.

A poet, Sophie Haffner has self-published two books of poems, which she is happy to read at various poetry events in the Périgord region, as well as at public readings in various establishments. After years working in the publishing industry, she moved to Rouffignac, where she writes, edits and is a very active advocate for artists' rights in the region. A lover of human contact, she offers to sign her books at informal gatherings and markets.

Installed in an old garage, this establishment is resolutely turned towards the plate, the good mood and the music. The plate with dishes elaborated by Hélène and Sylvain with fresh and local products, meats, mussels and vegetarian menus. The good mood and the music with the proposed evenings: Thursday evening for a karaoke and Sunday evening for live concerts by music groups from all over France with various influences (pop, rock, blues, reggae, soul, jazz, swing and French song).

Piano, guitar, double vocals and percussion: Alice and Morgane, who make up the duo Maniolya, know how to set the mood in a gentle, original way. Professionally trained and accustomed to the stage, they stroll down the sunny aisles of pop/folk, a repertoire they master perfectly and brighten up with their personal creativity. Keep an eye out for their latest news, as Maniolya (whom you can contact for private events) regularly performs concerts at various venues in the Dordogne, in spring and summer.

Two rooms, two atmospheres for these escape games for ages 14 and up: Urbex in a nightclub or Deadly Casting. In just one hour, will your team (from 2 to 5 people) be able to solve the riddles that will enable you to solve the mystery and emerge victorious from the room? Passionate, the founders of Under Escape welcome you in a friendly and educational way.
