Tour programme
Preparation:
We meet at our base 1 km from Brantôme 30 minutes before the meeting time written on your booking confirmation. You will find a large free car park on the spot. You will be greeted by our team who will give you your equipment (boat and life jacket) and explain the safety instructions. Then, it's time to hit the water.

Tour:
You will paddle quietly along the Dronne river, passing under the vegetal arches formed by lime and ash trees growing on the banks. Forget all your worries and enjoy the serene setting of the river until the Moulin de Grenier, located about 2 km from our base, one of the testaments of the river's past revolving around wood and especially chestnut wood. Once you reach the watermill, it is time to turn back.

Return:
You will return to the base approximately 1 hour after leaving. On site you can then enjoy our picnic area if you wish. Don't forget to visit the nearby village of Brantôme with its abbey!
