After a few paddle strokes, the Valley of the Castles appears, revealing magnificent hilltop villages between Beynac, Domme, and Castelnaud, while the castles stand proudly atop their rocky promontories. Take a moment to pause and appreciate the beauty of the landscapes that unfold as you paddle down. Once the descent is complete, a minibus will take you back to the base to return the equipment.
