    • RENTAL OF CANOES AND KAYAKS ON THE DRONNE, FROM BRANTÔME WITH ALLO CANOËS

      Jean-Claude Roullet (French Champion in canoe racing (29 times) and State Prevet in Canoe kayaks) and his team welcome you to Allo Canoës , a canoe and kayak rental base on the Dronne . The river winds and surrounds the island of Brantôme, which is also called the Venice of the Périgord Vert . You can tour it at your own pace by renting by the hour .

      The Dronne is a beautiful, clear and calm river, the courses offered (from 1 hour to 3 hours) are easy and accessible to everyone from 5 years old . It is an attractive, generous and original natural environment , with the added bonus of the beautiful historical monuments and ensembles that line the routes!

      Choose your course and after a quick training to pass the toboggan locks (easy and fun!) you will be equipped with a life jacket and you will deposit your belongings in a waterproof container . Departures are either from the base (for the Brantôme tour) or you will be taken upstream of the river by mini-bus and you go back down at your own pace. A route begins at the Fontaine d'amour , then you go down to Brantôme and go around it. Another more sporty route of 12km also allows you to go towards Moulin le Grenier a little further on the Dronne. Take advantage of your visit to Périgord Vert to adopt a different point of view, from the water's edge!

    We (group of 12) had a fantastic 3 hours taking a slow 8km paddle down La Dronne. This route has a bit of everything for a mixed age group with an amazing circular section around Brantome. The staff were friendly, helpful and informative. I higher recommend the canoeing trip.

    Very friendly and exceptional helpful staff all equipment looked new and well maintained. We've hired kayaks on the Dordogne and we found the Dronne a much nicer and far more enjoyable and picturesque with the benefit of plenty of shade. The route was great too with slides and weirs making it a little more exciting. Overall highly recommended for all abilities and ages.

    We had a great couple of hours meandering down the river. Be prepared to get wet around the edges as you need to get your canoe over a couple of weirs which is great fun. The only reason it’s not 5 stars is because our French isn’t great and their English isn’t perfect either so weren’t sure where to get out at the end. So here is how you know when you’ve got to the end of the trip. After you go under the bridge keep paddling until you get to a big weir that has a small stream that splits off to the left. We got out at the weir and dragged the boat about 5 meters past the weir and put the canoe back in the water. Keep paddling for another few minutes and the exit is on your right just after the bend.
