Tips if you are going to do Kayaking in Dordogne

Want to do something fun and sporty in Dordogne? Kayaking is unquestionably one of the best things to do in this area. Allowing yourself to be guided by the river's flow and admiring stunning landscapes will be a memorable experience for you and your family or friends. And rivers aren't the only thing lacking in the Dordogne! Dordogne, Vézère, Isle, Dronne, and Auvézère are the five departments that make up the unit.

Where can you go kayaking in the Dordogne?


• Carennac: The routes offered in Carennac are great for discovering the spectacular landscapes of the Dordogne valley. You can choose from three options: a 9 km route from Girac to Carennac that takes about 1h30, a 15 km relaxing trip on the water from Carennac to Montvalent spanning 2h30, or a route spanning 24 km from Girac to Montvalent that takes about 4h30.

• Veyrignac: Still on the Dordogne, this stroll will leave you feeling in owe of Veyrignac, thanks to its magnificent natural surroundings and the nearby castles of Fenelon and Montfort. You will be given two options for the kayaking session: the St Ju route, which is 6 kilometres long and takes around 1 hour 30 minutes, and the Le Roc route, which is 15 kilometres long and takes about 3 hours. As you may have guessed, the first course is geared for beginners, but the second is ideal for the more experienced among you.

• Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil: This time, in the heart of the Vézère, you will have the option of taking one of four routes that will allow you to admire landscapes of varying beauty and diversity, such as the largest troglodyte site in Europe and the footprints left by our primitive ancestors beneath the Ruth cliffs, or one of France's most beautiful villages, St-Léon sur Vézère. Kayaking at Les Eyzies will provide you with unforgettable experiences.

• Montpon-Menesterol: Here, you'll find the valley of L'isle, nestled in the middle of this spectacular river's meanders, with preserved fauna and flora that will captivate you. You can choose the 1-hour course where you will stay close to the base, that of 4km, 9km, 14 km or even 20 km. Either way, you will experience incredible moments.

• Fontaine d'Amour: Witness a unique landscape when you are in the middle of the Dronne on a 2-hour, 8-kilometre trek to the base of Brantôme. There will be a slide on the course that will delight the children. If you wish to go further and challenge yourself, you can finish an 18-kilometre tour that will take you roughly 4 hours and 30 minutes and will take you to see the region's monuments.

• Cherveix Cubas: Amid the Auvezère, the last river on our list, there are three courses perfect for any preference: 1h, 3h, or 4h30. Along the Auvézère valley, you will find breathtaking scenery. You will depart from Cherveix-Cubas, depending on the route chosen, with the option of continuing on the route leading to Guimalet or Cubas. This journey lasting 3 hours will take you to Tourtoirac, and if you wish to go to St Eulalie d'Ans, the duration is 4.5 hours.
