Get out on the water

Like to keep active while on holiday? Go kayaking on the Dordogne. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned paddler, the river has a calm current that’s suitable for any level of skill. Take a kayak tour and enjoy some time out on the water, then simply drag your kayak ashore and enjoy a refreshing swim or a nice picnic. Is a boat ride more your speed? In that case, step aboard a gabarre. These traditional boats are typical of the Dordogne Region. The boats are long with a flat bottom, designed for use in shallow water. Every bend of the river reveals a different landscape. Sit back and marvel at the castles, fortresses and quaint villages along the rover banks.
