Canoë Montignac Les 7 Rives Discover the most beautiful attractions of the Vézère by Canoe and Kayak

Canoes The 7 Shores in Montignac-Lascaux

Les 7 Rives canoe and kayak rental is based in the center of the town of Montignac-Lascaux, famous for its cave decorated with rock paintings ( Lascaux I and Lascaux IV can be visited all year round) in the heart of the Périgord Noir in Dordogne.

You can launch directly from the Les 7 Rives base in Montignac-Lascaux and let yourself be carried by the gentle waters of the river to Thonac, Saint Léon sur Vézère or Tursac.

• There are 3 routes to choose from: 8, 12 or 20 km,
• And a wide range of boats: from solo kayaks to double kayaks, 2, 3, 4 and even 5-seater canoes for families. Stand-up paddleboards are also available for hire upon reservation.

Once embarked, we pass in front of the houses on stilts of the town, then under the three castles of the Vézère which overlook the watercourse, we find vestiges of locks bearing witness to a prestigious navigation, further on the Templar village of Sergeac is offered to the gaze, then the Romanesque church of St-Léon Sur Vézère emerges at the whim of a meander and for the more courageous, the troglodyte city of La Roque Saint-Christophe will be the grand finale.

Time is not counted, return buses are organized every hour.
So, it's possible to stay and stroll through one of the most beautiful villages in France by disembarking at Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère after a 12 km paddle. But you can also take your picnic for a gourmet break and even your swimsuits to cool off...

On the Vézère, you can go canoeing from the age of 5. It is a class I river, so it is calm most of the year.
Of course, you need to know how to swim, how to submerge yourself, and you need to wear shoes that fit well on your feet.

Here, dogs are allowed on the canoes, and there are even dog vests available on request.
Groups and school groups are welcomed and supervised by state-qualified instructors upon reservation.

The 7 Rives canoe base is open from the Easter holidays until September 30, at 9 a.m. in July and August and from 10 a.m. the rest of the season.

The Les 7 Rives team is at your service to share with you its passion for canoeing and its attachment to the Vézère valley.
