Canoës Limeuil

Canoës Limeuil welcomes you to Limeuil (24), one of the "Most Beautiful Villages of France" at the confluence of the Dordogne and the Vézère, a unique site in Europe.

Accessible to all, this sport and leisure activity can be practiced with family, groups, friends and at any age. You can descend at your own pace and in complete safety two of the most beautiful rivers in Périgord.

Discover the prestigious sites which stand proudly on the cliffs overlooking the Dordogne river (castles, troglodyte dwellings, caves, etc…) over the water. Or stroll along the Vézère "World Site of Prehistory", in lush greenery and unspoiled nature.

For all the routes we drop you off, with our vehicle and all the equipment, at your starting point upstream of each river and you return at your own pace to Limeuil!
Our prices include all the necessary equipment (waistcoats and paddles) as well as transport and insurance.

Whatever your route, many small easily accessible beaches will encourage you, as you wish, to taste the joys of swimming or picnicking.
You will find free car parks in Limeuil near the Canoës Limeuil base and can enjoy the beach for swimming or picnicking.
