Lake Pelisse sits at Douzains, a serene setting just a short drive from the renowned vineyards and medieval bastides of the Dordogne. Cabanes Flottantes du Lac de Pelisse offers a singular experience: floating cabins accessed by boat from the domain pontoon. This accommodation is designed for travelers who want a restful, authentic escape in nature while remaining close to cultural attractions like Monflanquin and Villeréal.
Each floating cabin provides comfortable sleeping arrangements with high-quality mattresses, premium linens, and prepared beds on arrival. A private terrace surrounds each cabin, creating an ideal spot to enjoy your breakfast or evening apéritif while gently rocked by the water. Guests can choose to have hot meals delivered to their cabin, order curated apéritif baskets — including local specialties like foie gras or a Périgourdin selection — or enjoy a Champagne option for special occasions.
The domain is family friendly and offers activities for all ages: fishing directly from your cabin or the lake shore, table tennis, fitness equipment in the former hangar, and nearby supervised swimming at Lougratte Lake with water slides, pedal boats, and a lifeguard in summer. For a memorable local experience, book a donkey-drawn carriage ride starting 300 meters from the lake at the Asinerie de Pinseguerre. The area’s medieval villages and bastides are perfect for half-day excursions rich in history, markets, and local gastronomy.
Practical details: check-in is between 15:00 and 19:00, departures before 11:00, and same-day reservations close at 15:00. Pets are not accepted.
