Karting de Saint-Geniès

In Saint-Geniès, in the Dordogne, Karting de Saint-Geniès sets up its outdoor track in the heart of the Périgord Noir, halfway between Sarlat-la-Canéda and Montignac. The site sits in a rural setting typical of the area : Périgord bocage, oak forests, golden-stone hamlets. It's a family address valued by holidaymakers in regional gîtes and locals on weekend outings.

The open-air layout extends across about 500 metres, a compact format particularly suited to family initiation runs and beginners. Several kart engine sizes are available depending on 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 stays accessible for families with kids and regularly hosts birthday parties, stag and hen parties, and outings with friends in a resolutely relaxed atmosphere.

Saint-Geniès is 15 minutes from Sarlat-la-Canéda, 20 from Montignac, and 35 from Brive-la-Gaillarde. The region offers plenty to extend the visit: Sarlat and its medieval centre listed among the Plus Beaux Villages, Lascaux II/IV, the Beynac castle perched on its cliff, gabarres on the Dordogne from La Roque-Gageac, or a detour to the Marqueyssac gardens. For Périgord Noir holidaymakers, it's a human-scale karting stop, perfect to slot in a session between two château or prehistoric cave visits. Simple format, authentic atmosphere, ideal for groups in gîtes.
