Canoes The 7 Shores in Montignac-Lascaux

Les 7 Rives canoe and kayak rental is based in the centre of the town of Montignac-Lascaux, famous for its cave decorated with rock paintings (Lascaux I and Lascaux IV can be visited all year round) in the heart of the Périgord Noir in the Dordogne.

You can launch directly from the Les 7 Rives base in Montignac-Lascaux and let yourself be carried by the gentle flow of the river to Thonac, Saint Léon sur Vézère or Tursac.

• There are 3 routes to choose from: 8, 12 or 20 km,
• And a wide range of boats: from solo kayaks to double kayaks, 2, 3, 4 and even 5-seater canoes for families. Stand up paddles are also available for hire upon reservation.

Once on board, we pass in front of the town's houses on stilts, then under the three Vézère castles which overlook the watercourse, we find the remains of locks bearing witness to prestigious navigation, further on the Templar village of Sergeac comes into view, then the Romanesque church of St-Léon Sur Vézère emerges at the whim of a meander and for the bravest, the troglodyte city of La Roque Saint-Christophe will be the grand finale.

Time is not counted, return buses are organized every hour.
So, it is possible to stay and stroll in one of the most beautiful villages in France by disembarking at Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère after 12 km of paddling. But also to take your picnic for a gourmet break and even your swimsuits to cool off...

On the Vézère, you can go canoeing from the age of 5. It is a class I river, so it is calm most of the year.
Of course, you need to know how to swim, how to submerge yourself and you need to wear shoes that fit your feet well.

Here dogs are allowed on the canoes, there are even dog vests on request.
Groups and schools are welcomed and supervised by state-qualified instructors upon reservation.

The 7 Rives canoe base is open from the Easter holidays until September 30, at 9 a.m. in July and August and from 10 a.m. the rest of the season.

The Les 7 Rives team is at your service to share with you its passion for canoeing and its attachment to the Vézère valley.
