Perhaps you may think that canoeing isn’t for you, but just read on
to discover that in fact it is one of the most popular activities
within the Dordogne region. There is no better way to experience the
beauty and tranquillity of the Dordogne Valley and its tributaries than
by hiring a canoe and paddling various distances, depending on how the
mood takes you.
On a hot summers day there is nothing better than cooling off close
to the river or indeed in it!
You will see some of the region’s most picturesque villages that in
some of which have literally been carved out of the river cliffs.
Examples of the many trips available are detailed below:
Canoes Valley
Vezere
(Approximately 80km north east of the villa)
If you want to experience an unforgettable river trip…
Why not take a day or a weekend and go with your children, parents
or friends and discover the heart of nature.
Open from April to October
They provide you with solid equipment that conforms to the
latest standards and certified by the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
You can paddle, provided you can swim, in one of their unsinkable
canoes or kayaks and even take children under 12 with you, provided
their parents are present. You will have the choice of canoes
seating 2, 3 or 4 people or kayaks seating 1 or 2.
For your safety, they provide a large range of life
jackets and will advise you to wear casual clothing (shorts,
swimming costume) and shoes. For your comfort, they will
provide you with a waterproof container for keeping your possessions
dry and carrying your picnic.
As you set out on the grand descent, you will pass beautiful
castles, such as the Château de Losse with its terraces, which
overlook the river, and the Château de Belcavre, which is built on a
rocky peak in the shape of a bow.
 You will then arrive at St Léon sur Vézère, a haven of peace with its church and castle built on the bank of the river. You can picnic
there, have some refreshments or visit the old village. After this
stop, you will enter the "royal route " of prehistory traced by the Vézère right to
Les Eyzies.
The river will enable you to touch the majestic 80-m high cliffs of
La Roque St
Christophe, with one
of the largest natural terraces in Europe, which is 500 m long, and
was inhabited for 55 000 years from the prehistoric era to the
Middle Ages. You will then paddle alongside the site of La
Madeleine; its troglodyte village, castle ruins and chapel built
overlooking the Vézère.
 Just
before you arrive in Les Eyzies, you will discover the high cliffs
of
Laugerie Basse.
An exceptional site with a prehistoric shelter and the
Grand Roc caves,
a marvel of nature, made of innumerable concretions and
crystallizations of exceptional purity.
