Circuit Karting du Périgord

In Teyjat, in the Périgord vert, Circuit Karting du Périgord stretches 1,100 metres of outdoor track in northern Dordogne, in a rural area typical of the Nontronnais. The site sits halfway between Périgueux and Angoulême, in a wooded setting characteristic of the Périgord vert : chestnut forests, deep valleys, the first Limousin foothills. It's an address valued by Périgord and Charente residents and holidaymakers in regional gîtes.

With its 1,100 metres, the open-air layout offers a real driving course : straights long enough to push speeds and technical sequences that demand precision. Several kart engine sizes are available depending on driver level, from entry-level models for younger drivers to punchier versions for regulars chasing timed sessions. The site stays accessible for family initiation runs and regularly hosts birthday parties, stag and hen parties, and corporate seminars in the green setting of the Périgord vert.

Teyjat is 45 minutes from Périgueux, an hour from Angoulême, and 1h30 from Limoges. The region offers plenty to extend the visit: Périgord vert painted caves (the Teyjat cave is itself classified), Brantôme and its abbey, Nontron and the Périgord nontronnais, the Vézère valley and its prehistoric sites (Lascaux an hour away), or a detour to Aubusson and its tapestries. An option for Périgord holidaymakers looking for a long technical course in deep countryside.
