    Very friendly staff and well organised. The canoes are modern and an equipment like life vest very clean. Very nice to see another view of the area. It’s less touristic than for example the Dordogne river but the nature is beautiful. It’s difficult to compare both except for the fact that you are canoeing a river. If you want to do a canoe journey on the Vezere I would definitely choose this one. Plenty of parking places and camping cars area within 50 meters.

    Very great experience… The service was very nice and friendly. Would definitely recommend it to people who are looking for a relaxed morning on the river.

    Great site and views for nature and kayaking. The kayak company gives a floatable and waterproof “box” which can be placed on the kayak on which you can put your food and precious objects. Halfway from Saint Leon Sur Vezere to Roc Saint Christophe there is a sort of “mini island” in the middle of the river where people can make a stop and have lunch. There is no time limit for the rental of canoe or kayak. I definitely recommend this company.

    Fantastic. Ive been on a couple canoe trips nearby, none as nice, friendly and helpful as Canoe Family. I cannot recommend them any higher than FANTASTIC.
