Bergerac Karting

In Saint-Laurent-des-Vignes, in the Dordogne, Bergerac Karting sets up its outdoor track a few minutes southeast of central Bergerac, at the heart of the Périgord pourpre. The site sits in the bocage of the Dordogne valley, with the Bergerac slopes in the background. It's one of the most frequented karting addresses in the Dordogne, valued by Bergerac residents heading out with friends and by holidaymakers staying in the region.

The open-air layout extends across about 800 metres and offers a rhythmic course that lets you work on lines and braking. Several kart engine sizes are available depending on driver profile, from entry-level models for kids to punchier versions for regulars chasing timed sessions. Conditions shift with Aquitaine weather: faster and drier in summer, more demanding on rainy days. The site happily welcomes family initiation runs, birthday parties, stag and hen parties, seminars, and corporate evenings, with various packages adapted to Périgord business basin groups.

Saint-Laurent-des-Vignes is 5 minutes from central Bergerac, 50 from Périgueux, and 1h15 from Bordeaux. The region offers plenty to extend the visit: the medieval centre of Bergerac and the Cyrano statue, the Renaissance Monbazillac castle, the Monpazier bastide listed among the Plus Beaux Villages, the Biron castle, or a detour to Sarlat-la-Canéda 1h15 away and the Périgord Noir. A coherent karting option for holidaymakers on a Périgord pourpre circuit looking for a dynamic activity between two heritage visits.
