of Vitrac, with its lively hotel business, has a fascinating history linked to the Gabares. During the period of conflict between the Capetians and the Plantagenets, the wine trade with England created a strong demand for wood to make barrels. This led to significant commercial traffic between the timber-producing Auvergne and the wine-producing Gironde.<\/p><p>Gabares were boats that transported merrain (chestnut wood for barrels) and carrassonne (chestnut stakes for vineyards). Depending on where they came from, Gabares had different uses: those from the upper Dordogne were sold in pieces with their cargo, while those from the Souillac area were loaded with salt and hauled up the river by oxen along a towpath.<\/p><p>The Gabares' return journey was punctuated by stops at various ports, where the Gabariers negotiated and dined. Vitrac was one of the ports where this lively commercial life took place.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"mt-1 flex justify-start gap-3 empty:hidden\"><div class=\"text-gray-400 flex self-end lg:self-center items-center justify-center lg:justify-start mt-0 -ml-1 h-7 gap-[2px] visible\"><div class=\"flex\"> <\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"pr-2 lg:pr-0\"> <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"mx-auto\"><div><div class=\"mx-auto mt-2 inline-flex rounded-xl border border-gray-100 dark:border-gray-700\"> <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article><span class=\"wpr-year-wrap\"><span class=\"wpr-year-label wpr-year\">3 km<\/span><\/span><article class=\"wpr-timeline-entry wpr-right-aligned elementor-repeater-item-20c3cbe\" data-item-id=\"elementor-repeater-item-20c3cbe\"><time class=\"wpr-extra-label\" data-aos=\"fade\" data-aos-left=\"\" data-aos-right=\"\" data-animation-offset=\"150\" data-animation-duration=\"600\"><span class=\"wpr-label\">La Bastide de Domme<\/span><\/time><div class=\"wpr-timeline-entry-inner\"><div class=\"wpr-main-line-icon wpr-icon\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"far fa-flag\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"wpr-story-info-vertical wpr-data-wrap \"  data-aos=\"fade\" data-aos-left=\"\" data-aos-right=\"\" data-animation-offset=\"150\" data-animation-duration=\"600\"><div class=\"wpr-animation-wrap wpr-timeline-media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/canoes-loisirs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/5947_village_de_domme_\u00a9-Dordogne-Libre-1024x682.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Vue a\u00e9rienne de Domme\" srcset=\"https:\/\/canoes-loisirs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/5947_village_de_domme_\u00a9-Dordogne-Libre-1024x682.webp 1024w, https:\/\/canoes-loisirs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/5947_village_de_domme_\u00a9-Dordogne-Libre-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/canoes-loisirs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/5947_village_de_domme_\u00a9-Dordogne-Libre-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/canoes-loisirs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/5947_village_de_domme_\u00a9-Dordogne-Libre-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/canoes-loisirs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/5947_village_de_domme_\u00a9-Dordogne-Libre.webp 1920w, https:\/\/canoes-loisirs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/5947_village_de_domme_\u00a9-Dordogne-Libre-600x400.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><div class=\"wpr-timeline-story-overlay \"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpr-timeline-content-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpr-content-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpr-description\"><div class=\"react-scroll-to-bottom--css-qghgr-1n7m0yu\"><div class=\"flex flex-col text-sm pb-9\"><div class=\"w-full text-token-text-primary sm:AIPRM__conversation__response\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-5\"><div class=\"px-4 py-2 justify-center text-base md:gap-6 m-auto\"><div class=\"flex flex-1 text-base mx-auto gap-3 md:px-5 lg:px-1 xl:px-5 md:max-w-3xl lg:max-w-[40rem] xl:max-w-[48rem] group final-completion\"><div class=\"relative flex w-full flex-col agent-turn\"><div class=\"flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\"><div class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col max-w-full\"><div class=\"min-h-[20px] text-message flex flex-col items-start gap-3 whitespace-pre-wrap break-words [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5 overflow-x-auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"aefa3098-bae5-4725-9294-3b23b00c6dea\"><div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert dark\"><p>Pass under the left arch of the bridge to continue your journey.

The river then begins a second curve to the left. On the right bank, you'll see a cave that once served as a strategic surveillance point for the river. The Dordogne was a crucial control point, and its strategic positions were rapidly fortified during the Hundred Years' War.<\/p><p>In 1152, Eleanor of Aquitaine, ex-wife of Louis VII, gave Aquitaine to Henry of Plantagenet by marriage, a gift of great value!

A little history? We're in the middle of the Hundred Years' War! But let's go back even further, to prehistoric times... Flint tools discovered here suggest prehistoric occupation of La Roque-Gageac. And the cliffside staircase? Quite simply, these are the remains of the La Roque fortress, built to protect against Viking attacks. Later, an enclosure with fortified houses was added, serving as a refuge for the bishops of Sarlat from repeated raids.<\/p><p>The city was renowned for its impregnability. It was a vital port and thriving commercial center in the era of inland waterway transport (with gabares), before giving way to animal-drawn towage from 1817 onwards. Today, the village offers all the necessary services.<\/p><p>As you leave La Roque-Gageac, you'll pass the Ch\u00e2teau de la Malartrie (formerly called \"maladerie\" in medieval Occitan) on your right, followed by the beach and municipal campsite. Built between the 10th and 12th centuries as a hospital for contagious diseases, the ch\u00e2teau remained abandoned until it was bought by an industrialist in 1902. The latter undertook a restoration in Renaissance style, although the final result does not entirely respect this style! Today, the ch\u00e2teau is the residence of a family of renowned P\u00e9rigord diplomats.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article><span class=\"wpr-year-wrap\"><span class=\"wpr-year-label wpr-year\">7.8 km<\/span><\/span><article class=\"wpr-timeline-entry wpr-left-aligned elementor-repeater-item-7f5d981\" data-item-id=\"elementor-repeater-item-7f5d981\"><time class=\"wpr-extra-label\" data-aos=\"fade\" data-aos-left=\"\" data-aos-right=\"\" data-animation-offset=\"150\" data-animation-duration=\"600\"><span class=\"wpr-label\">Ch\u00e2teau de la Malartrie<\/span><\/time><div class=\"wpr-timeline-entry-inner\"><div class=\"wpr-main-line-icon wpr-icon\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"far fa-flag\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"wpr-story-info-vertical wpr-data-wrap \"  data-aos=\"fade\" data-aos-left=\"\" data-aos-right=\"\" data-animation-offset=\"150\" data-animation-duration=\"600\"><div class=\"wpr-animation-wrap wpr-timeline-media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/canoes-loisirs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Com-Images.0094-1024x683.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Gabarre devant le chateau de la Roque Gageac\" srcset=\"https:\/\/canoes-loisirs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Com-Images.0094-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/canoes-loisirs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Com-Images.0094-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/canoes-loisirs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Com-Images.0094-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/canoes-loisirs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Com-Images.0094-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/canoes-loisirs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Com-Images.0094.webp 1920w, https:\/\/canoes-loisirs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Com-Images.0094-600x400.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><div class=\"wpr-timeline-story-overlay \"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpr-timeline-content-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpr-content-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpr-description\"><p>Admire the Ch\u00e2teau de la Malartrie from your canoe!

The port of Vitrac, with its lively hotel business, has a fascinating history linked to the Gabares. During the period of conflict between the Capetians and the Plantagenets, the wine trade with England created a strong demand for wood to make barrels. This led to significant commercial traffic between the timber-producing Auvergne and the wine-producing Gironde. Gabares were boats that transported merrain (chestnut wood for barrels) and carrassonne (chestnut stakes for vineyards). Depending on where they came from, Gabares had different uses: those from the upper Dordogne were sold in pieces with their cargo, while those from the Souillac area were loaded with salt and hauled up the river by oxen along a towpath. The Gabares&#8217; return journey was punctuated by stops at various ports, where the Gabariers negotiated and dined. Vitrac was one of the ports where this lively commercial life took place. 3 km La Bastide de Domme Pass under the left arch of the bridge to continue your journey. You&#8217;ll then skirt a small islet, which is a nature reserve for birds where landing is prohibited, before finding one of the arms of the Dordogne on your right. The river then begins a second curve to the left. On the right bank, you&#8217;ll see a cave that once served as a strategic surveillance point for the river. The Dordogne was a crucial control point, and its strategic positions were rapidly fortified during the Hundred Years&#8217; War. In 1152, Eleanor of Aquitaine, ex-wife of Louis VII, gave Aquitaine to Henry of Plantagenet by marriage, a gift of great value! This marked the beginning of two centuries of conflict, during which the Bastide de Domme played a crucial role. It was built in 1282 by order of Philip the Fair. Continuing on, you leave the Beau Rivage campsite on your right and take the left-hand branch of the river, which leads peacefully around a wide bend to the right, then the long straight stretch to the steep promontory of DOMME and its belvedere. 3 km La Bastide de Domme You&#8217;re now at C\u00c9NAC, the former port of DOMME, which explains the mooring rings on the bridge. Just beyond this, on the left bank, behind a small islet, is the C\u00e9nac embarkation beach. A little further on, the water accelerates for around a hundred metres, the passage of the Pendoils. You&#8217;ll notice a number of basalt boulders rising to the surface (safely, don&#8217;t worry), most likely the remains of a crossing point used by Roman legions when the water level was low. Now you&#8217;re facing an imposing limestone cliff, a favorite haunt for buzzards, kites and peregrine falcons. Occasionally, if you look up, you&#8217;ll be able to witness battles between birds of prey during the nesting season. 7.3 km La Roque-Gajeac You&#8217;ll soon reach the village of La Roque-Gageac, listed as one of France&#8217;s most beautiful villages. A little history? We&#8217;re in the middle of the Hundred Years&#8217; War! But let&#8217;s go back even further, to prehistoric times&#8230; Flint tools discovered here suggest prehistoric occupation of La Roque-Gageac. And the cliffside staircase? Quite simply, these are the remains of the La Roque fortress, built to protect against Viking attacks. Later, an enclosure with fortified houses was added, serving as a refuge for the bishops of Sarlat from repeated raids. The city was renowned for its impregnability. It was a vital port and thriving commercial center in the era of inland waterway transport (with gabares), before giving way to animal-drawn towage from 1817 onwards. Today, the village offers all the necessary services. As you leave La Roque-Gageac, you&#8217;ll pass the Ch\u00e2teau de la Malartrie (formerly called &#8220;maladerie&#8221; in medieval Occitan) on your right, followed by the beach and municipal campsite. Built between the 10th and 12th centuries as a hospital for contagious diseases, the ch\u00e2teau remained abandoned until it was bought by an industrialist in 1902. The latter undertook a restoration in Renaissance style, although the final result does not entirely respect this style! Today, the ch\u00e2teau is the residence of a family of renowned P\u00e9rigord diplomats. 7.8 km Ch\u00e2teau de la Malartrie Admire the Ch\u00e2teau de la Malartrie from your canoe! Nestling on the banks of the Dordogne, this ch\u00e2teau offers a majestic view from the water. Paddle quietly while admiring its elegant architecture and enchanting natural setting. 10.4 km Castelnaud-la-ChapelleCh\u00e2teau de Castelnaud dates back to the 12th century, and over the centuries has been under English and French rule, depending on successive sieges. It offers an exceptional view over the Dordogne and was the object of covetousness on the part of the Lords of Beynac. Eventually, it became the property of Fran\u00e7ois de Caumont, who found the residence too austere and decided to build the Ch\u00e2teau des Milandes. 12.2 km Ch\u00e2teau de Fayrac Explore the majesty of Ch\u00e2teau de Fayrac from your canoe! Glide along the serene waters of the Dordogne and admire the Renaissance ch\u00e2teau standing proudly on its banks. 13.2 km Beynac A narrow lane leads straight to Beynac, where the imposing ch\u00e2teau and chapel stand proudly. Since year 7, we&#8217;ve been free of the tolls and fishing rights imposed by local lords. One of the four baronies of P\u00e9rigord, the ch\u00e2teau has undergone many changes over the centuries: the keep was extended by a rectangular building in the 12th century, and the facades were embellished in the 16th century.
