Where to do canoeing on the Dordogne?

"Our" Dordogne river can offer you very different landscapes depending on the course you choose. For lovers of fast canoeing (class 2) and green forests it is the Corrèze part of the Dordogne which will best suit you. For those who prefer castles and limestone cliffs, you will have to go downstream, in the lot. We explain to you everything in detail, just below!

But then, what canoeing route to choose?

I prefer rapids and green forests 🌿

In this case, favor a departure from our base of Monceaux -Sur -Dordogne .

Canoe walks in Corrèze:

📍 Settler of Monceaux -Sur-Dordogne
🧭 Arrival in Briavezac (9km)-Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne (18km)

🚌 Bus back in the afternoon since the arrival point . Morning bus to go back to the departure available in Beaulieu (by reservation)

What will we see during our walk?

This walk will offer you the freshness of Correzian water, some small fast (accessible to beginners) and a green landscape with reliefs.


I prefer the cliffs and the castles of the lot 🏰

In this case, prefer a departure from our bases from Vayrac or St-Sozy .
