    • LEISURE ACTIVITIES WITH VERT AUVÉZÈRE IN CHERVEIX-CUBAS


      Outdoor activities

      Located in Cherveix-Cubas, on the border of Périgord Vert and Périgord Noir, Vert Auvézère offers a unique experience to discover the Auvézère river.

      This establishment specializes in the rental of canoes and kayaks, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in a preserved natural setting.

      Open continuously in summer, Vert Auvézère also welcomes water sports enthusiasts throughout the year by reservation.


      An offer adapted to all audiences

      Vert Auvézère offers varied routes, suitable for both families and those who enjoy more sporty sensations.

      Participants can choose between canoes (2 adults or 2 adults with a light child) or individual kayaks. Equipment provided includes paddles, safety vests, and waterproof containers to protect personal belongings. This all-inclusive formula guarantees a pleasant and stress-free outing.


      Route on the Auvézère: nature and sensations

      There are two main routes to explore the Auvézère River depending on the desires and level of the participants:

      • Descente Cherveix-Cubas to Tourtoirac : This route of approximately 8 km alternates between calm sections, small rapids, and dam passages. It takes between 2 and 3 hours to complete this descent. Along the way, participants can observe the local fauna and flora, stop for a refreshing swim or simply enjoy the natural setting. A shuttle brings participants back to the starting point at the end of their excursion.
      • Route to the Guimalet Bridge : Shorter and more peaceful, this route is suitable for beginners or those wanting a relaxing stroll. Ranging from 1h30 to 2h round trip, this route offers gentle navigation in the heart of lush greenery.


      An immersion in the heart of Périgord

      Along the water, visitors discover a river renowned for its wild character and preserved environment. The diversity of the landscapes, alternating between steep reliefs and wooded areas, offers a perfect setting for an outing in the heart of nature.


      Additional activities and amenities

      Upon arrival in Tourtoirac or departure in Cherveix-Cubas, free picnic areas allow you to extend this friendly moment. Lovers of local gastronomy can also choose to have lunch in one of the restaurants located near the departure or arrival points.


      TO DISCOVER IN THE SURROUNDINGS OF CHERVEIX-CUBAS

      Within a 30 km radius of Cherveix-Cubas, visitors can explore emblematic natural and cultural sites of the Périgord Vert and Périgord Noir.

      • Hiking and landscapes : Walking enthusiasts will appreciate the marked trails in the Auvézère gorges, particularly around Saint-Mesmin. These routes offer an immersion in the heart of a steep relief, perfect for observing the local biodiversity.
      • Places of interest : The Château de Hautefort, located a few kilometers away, is a must-see with its French gardens and impressive architecture.
      • Towns and villages : The small town of Tourtoirac seduces with its abbey and its cave, while Excideuil charms with its medieval streets and its local market.
      • Markets and local producers : The markets of Hautefort and Thiviers allow you to discover the flagship products of the Périgord region, such as foie gras, nuts and artisanal cheeses.


      By combining water activities, cultural discoveries and gourmet breaks, Vert Auvézère and its surroundings promise a stay rich in experiences in the heart of the Dordogne.

    A beautiful experience kayaking down the river with many things to see and some fun mini rapids to navigate. Very easy to use the kayaks and seamless hiring and pick up at the end, would highly recommend!

    Unfortunately, my husband had a bad experience. He had a canoe which had holes in and kept filling up with water. And the river was very low and they kept getting stuck on the stones on the river bed. Three hour trip turned into five hours and they were exhausted and wet and very fed up. The river should be checked for the height and flow of the water before people are allowed to go down
