Discover the natural beauty of the Périgord Vert by canoe

Feelout offers canoe rentals between the Périgord Vert and Périgord Blanc regions, just minutes from Excideuil and 25 minutes from Périgueux, a charming village in the Dordogne department. This activity provides a unique opportunity to explore the Isle River (between Coulaures and Savignac-les-Églises), which meanders through verdant and unspoiled landscapes. The calm and accessible river is ideal for a getaway with family or friends. With routes adapted to all levels, everyone can enjoy a relaxing moment surrounded by nature.

Feelout offers several canoe routes suitable for everyone, whether it's a short trip of a few hours or a full day. The three routes offered are:

• Coulaures - Mayac: a 6 km journey, which takes about 2 hours, perfect for a first canoe rental experience.
• Coulaures - Savignac-les-Églises: this 9 km route, lasting 2h30 to 3h, offers more time to admire the surrounding landscapes.
• Verdeney - Savignac-les-Églises: a 12 km route, to be completed in 3h30 to 4h, ideal for those who wish a prolonged immersion in the Périgord nature.

An experience that can be tailored to your preferences.

At Feelout, every canoeing experience is customizable to suit each participant's preferences and skill level. Routes vary in difficulty, allowing everyone to find their own pace. Frequent stops along the river provide opportunities to rest, have a picnic, or simply enjoy the calm and refreshing water.

The canoes offered by Feelout are available in several configurations: single-seater kayaks for those who prefer to paddle alone, or two-seater canoes (with an option for a third seat for children under 12 in the middle). Perfect for sharing the experience with two or three people. Whatever the choice, each boat is designed to offer stability and safety, even for beginners.
