class=\"wpr-description\"><p><strong>The port of Vitrac<\/strong>, whose peyrat (port) can be imagined, reveals another history through its hotel activity: that of the <strong>Gabares<\/strong>. With the development of the wine trade to England during the Capetian-Plantagenet war, the need for wood to make barrels continued to grow. Boats soon began transporting this wood, creating a major trade route between the Auvergne and the Gironde.<br>These barges carried stavewood (chestnut planks used to make barrels) and carrassonne (chestnut stakes used to grow vines). Depending on where they came from, barges had different destinies. Coming from the upper Dordogne, they were dismantled and sold like the wood they carried. Coming from the Souillac area, they were loaded mainly with salt and hauled up the river by oxen along a towpath. The return journey was punctuated by stops at various ports, where the Gabariers traded and dined.

With the development of the wine trade to England during the Capetian-Plantagenet war, the need for wood to make barrels continued to grow. Boats soon began transporting this wood, creating a major trade route between the Auvergne and the Gironde.These barges carried stavewood (chestnut planks used to make barrels) and carrassonne (chestnut stakes used to grow vines). Depending on where they came from, barges had different destinies. Coming from the upper Dordogne, they were dismantled and sold like the wood they carried. Coming from the Souillac area, they were loaded mainly with salt and hauled up the river by oxen along a towpath. The return journey was punctuated by stops at various ports, where the Gabariers traded and dined. Vitrac was one of these ports. 3 km La Bastide de Domme Pass under the left arch of the bridge. You now skirt a small islet, a nature reserve for birds (disembarking prohibited), before finding a branch of the Dordogne on your right. The river now begins a second curve to the left. On the right bank, you&#8217;ll discover a cave, another river surveillance point. Now&#8217;s the time to talk a little history: the river was an essential control point, and strategic positions were quickly fortified during the Hundred Years&#8217; War. In 1152, Eleanor of Aquitaine, ex-wife of Louis VII, offered Aquitaine to Henry of Plantagenet (a fine gift!). This marked the start of two centuries of hostilities, during which the Bastide of Domme played an important role (built in 1282 by order of Philippe le Bel). Leaving the Beau Rivage campsite on your right, take the left-hand branch of the river which leads you gently around a wide bend to the right, then the long straight stretch to the steep promontory of DOMME and its belvedere. 3 km Cenac Bridge You are now at the C\u00c9NAC level. This is the former port of DOMME, which explains the presence of mooring rings fixed to the bridge. Just beyond this, on the left bank, behind a small islet, you&#8217;ll see the C\u00e9nac embarkation beach. A little further on, the water accelerates for a hundred meters or so, at the passage des Pendoils. Several blocks of basalt emerge from the surface (don&#8217;t worry, it&#8217;s harmless), most likely the remains of a Roman legion crossing point at low water levels. You are now facing an imposing limestone cliff, a favorite haunt of buzzards, kites and peregrine falcons. If you look up, you can sometimes witness battles between birds of prey during the nesting season. 7.3 km La Roque-Gajeac You&#8217;re approaching the village of La Roque Gageac, one of France&#8217;s most beautiful villages.

Nestling on the banks of the Dordogne, this ch\u00e2teau offers a majestic view from the water. Paddle peacefully while admiring its elegant architecture and enchanting natural surroundings.
