At the heart of the Périgord Noir's Castles
Embark on a great adventure on the River Dordogne.
From our bases in Beynac-et-Cazenac and Vitrac, you can set off on an unforgettable trip down France's most beautiful river.
Périgord Aventure et Loisirs specialises in canoe and kayak hire in the Dordogne. From our two perfectly located bases in Beynac-et-Cazenac and Port de Vitrac, we invite you to discover the treasures of the Périgord Noir from the water.
Paddling on the River Dordogne is a journey back in time and through nature. To the rhythm of your paddle, you'll discover breathtaking landscapes, many of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The river will reveal its secrets to you: vertiginous cliffs, pebble beaches perfect for a picnic, and preserved wildlife. The highlight of the trip is undoubtedly the journey through the "Valley of the Châteaux".
You'll be able to admire the fortresses of Castelnaud-la-Chapelle and Beynac, and fall in love with villages classed as some of the most beautiful in France, such as La Roque-Gageac and Domme. Whether you're an adventurer or prefer a more relaxed pace, our canoe and kayak hire service promises a truly memorable day out.
Choose to hire a canoe or kayak and enjoy a thrilling adventure in the heart of the Périgord Noir.
