Canoës Limeuil River Excursions in 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, in groups, with friends and at any age. You can go down two of the most beautiful rivers in Périgord at your own pace and in complete safety.

Discover the prestigious sites that stand proudly on the cliffs overlooking the Dordogne river (castles, troglodyte dwellings, caves, etc.) along the water. Or stroll along the Vézère "World Site of Prehistory", in a green setting 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 of the rivers and you return to Limeuil at your own pace!
Our prices include all the necessary equipment (life jackets and paddles) as well as transport and insurance.

Whatever your route, many small easily accessible beaches will encourage you, at your leisure, to taste the joys of swimming or picnicking.
