At Le Paradis, charging is designed to be part of the guest experience rather than an afterthought. Whether you arrive in your own electric vehicle or choose to rent one on site, you can plan your holiday with more flexibility.

A greener way to explore Dordogne
Electric mobility fits naturally with a holiday focused on slowing down and enjoying the surroundings more thoughtfully. Le Paradis highlights the idea of discovering Dordogne in a softer, more sustainable way, whether through electric cars, bicycles, or canoes available on site.
The campsite is located in the Vézère Valley, by the Vézère River, and serves as a strong base for exploring the surrounding area. From here, guests can combine local outings with lower-impact transport options.
Other on-site ways to get around and enjoy the area
In addition to electric car rental, Le Paradis offers:
- Bike rental
- Canoe rental
- An embarcadère on site for canoe access
These options make it easier to shape a holiday around outdoor exploration and a lighter travel footprint. For many guests, a greener road trip is not only about the car itself. It is also about choosing practical alternatives once you arrive.
How EV charging fits Le Paradis' eco-friendly approach
Le Paradis has held the European Ecolabel since 2012. For guests, that matters because EV infrastructure works best when it is part of a broader environmental mindset rather than a standalone feature.
Charging points for electric vehicles and on-site electric car rental support a travel style that aligns with that approach. They help guests:
- Reduce reliance on conventional fuel vehicles
- Plan more efficient local journeys
- Pair accommodation comfort with more responsible transport choices
In practice, this means your stay can be both convenient and more consistent with a lower-impact holiday.
When can you use these services?
The camping season runs from 28 March to 25 October. All vacation rentals and campsite services are open from March 28 to October 25, 2026. The three holiday homes are available year-round.
For guests planning an electric road trip, this seasonal schedule is worth keeping in mind when choosing travel dates and accommodation.
