CanoSphère Canoe / Kayak (rental) in Cénac and Saint Julien

With CanoSphère, we offer you walks where sport, history, culture and wonder combine! It's not that complicated because we are in the heart of Black Perigord, a land of history and Nature, on the banks of the most beautiful river in Europe: the Dordogne!

Our program: we invite you to paddle your paddles to discover the sumptuous landscapes of the Châteaux of Beynac, Castelnaud, Fayrac, Marqueyssac but also La Roque-Gageac, one of the most beautiful villages in France.

Canosphere is a canoe base which is ideally located near Sarlat, at the foot of the Bastide de Domme, at the entrance of Cénac and Saint Julien. We have our feet in the water to allow you to embark with complete peace of mind on the Dordogne river.

The Canosphere space also offers you the possibility of eating on site at the tavern on the bridge, also very appreciated after a rather sporty day on the water to have a refreshing drink or enjoy an ice cream!

Holidays in the Dordogne are often gastronomic marathons, Canosphere invites you to come and burn your calories along the water in an idyllic setting, with an eco-responsible dimension because we are winners in 2019 and 2021 of the " Biosphere Reserve Prize" awarded by UNESCO !

The history route is the longest route, 25 km, and the most complete, the one which offers you all the wonderful landscapes of Périgord. Discover the Cathar castle of Montfort, the medieval fortresses which during the Hundred Years' War marked the border between the kingdom of France ( castle of Beynac and castle of Marqueyssac ) and the kingdom of England (Châteaux de Beynac and Fayrac) but also the Bastide of Domme as well as the ancient port of La Roque-Gageac and its troglodyte village built on the side of a cliff.

Sporty and less sporty, there are different formats of walks at Canosphere, so that everyone can find what they are looking for, ours being to transmit our passion for the river and to share with you the riches of Périgord.

So for lovers of wild nature, we also offer " the cliff route" and "the wild route ".

Be attentive and you will then discover a whole fauna which discreetly populates the Dordogne valley, the last river in Europe with eight species of migratory fish but also migratory nesting birds of prey , perhaps you will then have the chance to observe the marvelous royal kite…
