Three specific activities can help you plan a trip to Vaunac: the Brocante on Easter Monday, a hike starting near the town hall, or a 30 km cycling loop that passes through the town. Each has its own key details to help answer different questions. For a visit to the Brocante, the event date matters; for the hike, the starting point is a useful landmark, while the cycling route is defined by its total distance.

Brocante on Easter Monday

The first stalls at the Brocante on Easter Monday are in the town center. If you are choosing Vaunac mainly for the market, check the specific event date and schedule in advance. This lets you plan your travel dates around the actual event. The location of the first stalls provides a specific landmark to help you find your way during your visit to the market.

Hiking or cycling

The “Boucle de la Baysse” hike starts near the town hall and is certified by the Fédération Française de Randonnée. Starting near the town hall provides a clear landmark when choosing a hike; the certification adds another specific detail about the route. If you plan to take this hike, check the route details before setting out.

The 30 km “Boucle vélo 30 km Thiviers–Vaunac–Négrondes–Saint-Corgnac-sur-l’Isle” cycling loop offers a different planning reference. It passes through Vaunac and is also certified by the Fédération Française de Randonnée. The 30 km refers to the loop and provides a clear measure to help you plan your time. There is a practical difference between the hike and the cycling route: the Boucle de la Baysse is described by its starting point near the town hall, while the cycling route is described by its total distance. If you are choosing between the two, you can use these different key details as a starting point for comparison and take the stated distance into account when planning.

Dishes and ice cream from Vaunac

Auberge La Sobronade serves homemade foie gras and an omelet with porcini mushrooms. As the menu may change, ask about the current selection before your visit, especially if one of these dishes is a deciding factor in your plans.

Glaces de Vaunac makes homemade ice cream in the Périgord region and serves it in individual cups. It is available at night markets or in the church square in Vaunac. Sales locations and availability may vary by season, so check in advance whether and where ice cream will be available during your stay. The food options therefore differ: Auberge La Sobronade focuses on specific dishes, while for the ice cream, the seasonal changes in where it is sold are important.

Choose accommodation based on what brings you to the area

If you are looking for a hotel in Vaunac, first decide what you want your stay to revolve around. For the Brocante, the specific event date is the key planning consideration. If a tour is your priority, consider whether the hike’s starting point or the stated length of the cycling loop will be more helpful when choosing.
