Go on an adventure down the Dordogne by hiring a canoe in La Roque-Gageac, in the Dordogne!

Explore the wonders of the Dordogne valley on a 16km canoe trip to discover all the historical treasures of the area. Embark from our base and begin your journey gliding over the tranquil waters of Carsac towards Cingle de Montfort, where the river forms a majestic curve surrounded by towering cliffs and lush greenery.

Continue canoeing down to La Roque-Gageac, passing through the charming village of Vitrac, a picturesque spot with traditional houses and bucolic landscapes. Continue on to Cénac, another typical village in the region, offering breathtaking views of the river and its verdant banks. Along the way, you'll have the chance to admire the spectacular view of the bastide town of Domme, perched on a cliff overlooking the valley. This medieval town, with its cobbled streets and fortifications, offers an exceptional panorama of the Dordogne.

Your canoe trip ends in La Roque-Gageac, one of the most beautiful villages in France, where the Canoë Vacances team will welcome you on your arrival at the nautical base. This 16-kilometre canoe trip from La Roque-Gageac is accessible to all, allowing you to discover the natural and historical heritage of the region at your own pace, while enjoying an outdoor sporting activity!
