Details

This 13-km canoe or kayak trip is our favourite. Indeed, this part of the Vézère is the richest and most diversified: it offers exceptional natural landscapes, ancient villages, and majestic castles all along. A river configuration gives you the opportunity to alternate small rapids and deep, calm zones. From the age of 5 years old, this getaway will delight young children because it is an opportunity to have fun with your family in an idyllic setting. Take the time to swim or stop to admire the natural and historical heritage of the Périgord Noir.
