“A first for us canoeing on the Dordogne with my partner, my daughter and our little dog.
The staff are very pleasant and helpful, and the view from the snack bar is superb.
The Carsac Vitrac route is magnificent and accessible for beginners. The price is still very reasonable given the landscapes crossed and the pleasure felt.
A must for everyone and we’ll be happy to come back.
