      The castles of the Dordogne Valley await you, to admire them from the most beautiful point of view: from the Espérance river . Come rent a canoe or kayak in the beautiful village of La Roque-Gageac and set off for a walk on the Dordogne from 2 to 25 km downhill, depending on your choice of route.

      Canoë Dordogne is located in the village of La Roque Gageac, you will be equipped with a life jacket and a waterproof container will be given to you for your belongings, then set off! Some departures are free from the base and you go down the river on a defined route or to the place of your choice. 4 other courses are available:

      • La Roque Gageac – Les Milandes: 9km with return by bus

    This was a highlight of our trip. The service was ok, not overly friendly, but less surly than some reviews make out. I guess if your lugging canoes back and forth all day in the heat, you wouldn't be up for a chat to the hundreds of tourists that pass through. This place is not the cheapest, but you got the back rests and waterproof container included, and it was a route that suited us. It is worth booking ahead of time if there is a large group of you, or you may miss out. The river is stunning, and gentle. There will be places that get very shallow, so watch the water and pick your path or you will get a bumpy ride. There are plenty of beaches to pull up on though not as many snack stops as I expected, so take plenty with you. You are not timed, but have to be back for the last bus at 7pm so don't miss it! The route times are more a guide as how long it would take if you paddled the whole way with no stops. Tip: Take a shorter route and really relax with lots of stops..Or take a longer one and get paddling!

    Lovely canoe along the dordogne river today with amazing views and lovely scenery. Quite pricey at €18 per person for 9km, but certainly worth it!

    5 / 5 Reviews posted by arkangel67 (Market Harborough, United Kingdom) on 24/07/2024

    At 57 Euros for the 9km trip down river for three people this was excellent value for money. Easy to book online, friendly staff and prompt collection from our finishing point. A snack bar at that...

    5 / 5 Reviews posted by Cynthia A (Sierra Madre, California) on 26/06/2024

    Great and relaxing. You don't have to be an athlete or have any experience. In fact you barely have to paddle because the river is up and running at a nice speed, just dip an oar it to keep straight...
