Canoeing on the Dordogne or the Vézère

Take advantage of a day to descend the Dordogne or Vézère by canoe or kayak: you can admire from your boat the castles perched on the heights of the cliffs or even the villages built on the banks of the rivers, such as Montfort, Castelnaud or la Roque-Gageac.

Limeuil gardens

The panoramic gardens of Limeuil offer a unique 360 ° view of the confluence of the Dordogne and Vézère. Located on the site of the old fortified castle, they overlook the village of Limeuil, classified as “the most beautiful village in France”, and offer visitors a succession of themed gardens.

castelnaud castle

Immerse yourself in the Middle Ages at Castelnaud Castle thanks to very realistic reconstructions of war machines and medieval clothes. While the grown-ups can visit the castle, the little ones can attend the swords forge, listen to medieval tales or even put on the finest attire of the lady or the sieur of the castle.

Nicknamed the crystal cathedral, the Proumeyssac chasm is highlighted by a fascinating play of lights. You will be able to discover all the beauty of the limestone concretions formed at the bottom of this chasm by descending there in a basket or simply by walking between the stalagmites.

Montfort

Although the castle itself cannot be visited, you will enjoy a superb view of the village of Vitrac and the surrounding area on your way there. On the way, stop at the cingle de Montfort.

Hot air balloon

At daybreak or at sunset, fly away from the foot of the Roque Gageac or the Château de Castelnaud for an hour weightless in the air.
