Day trips with canoeing and kayaking

Whether you're on a weekend getaway, a holiday, or simply fancy a stroll, our classic walks are perfect for you!

Vayrac – Saint-Sozy: 18 km – 3h30

This is the most classic of our descents: passing at the foot of the castle of Mirandol and the Copeyre viewpoint, a swimming break and why not sunbathing before arriving in Gluges, a well-deserved picnic opposite the cliffs of Gluges, a little coffee at the guinguette du vieux chêne and you will finish your trip peacefully with an arrival that is always beautiful in Saint-Sozy… There is no better view of the village of Meyronne than the one you have from your canoe.

Saint-Sozy – Souillac: 18 km – 3h30

This is the typical imagery of the Dordogne: numerous cliffs and three magnificent castles perched above the river. Belcastel Castle near the Lacave caves, Treyne Castle with its Relais & Châteaux hotel, and Lanzac Castle.
