We loved this route. It had everything you could ask for and I researched the prettiest routes and it didn't disappoint. Plenty of places to stop and swim. We stopped at Vitrac which had a snack bar. Friendly and very efficient staff at Canoe Dordogne and we would definitely use this company again.
