More about our Treasure River near Sarlat
How our treasure river works ?

Buy your bag of precious sand and head to the Treasure River. Once you're set up, gently pour a cup of sand into a sieve submerged in the water and let the current do its work. Little by little, the magic happens… Look closely and you'll see real minerals and fossils emerging from the sand. Every find is a surprise, to identify, collect, and bring home with pride.

This activity is open to everyone, children and adults alike. No special skills required. It's a calm, fun, and educational experience to enjoy as a family or with friends, the perfect opportunity to feel like a true treasure hunter, take your time, and discover the natural wonders hidden all around us.
