    • Périgord Colors: Canoe/Kayak Trip on the Dordogne River from Vézac

      Would you like to enjoy the magnificent landscapes of the Dordogne from the river ? Take a canoe or kayak trip down the Dordogne, at your own pace to admire the castles, cliffs, villages, landscapes … from Vézac, just 15 minutes from Sarlat and 5 minutes from Beynac, the Canoë Couleurs Périgord base offers canoe and kayak rentals for trips on the Dordogne, from 5 to 22km.

      For families, choose the shorter routes of a few hours or half a day – a fun way to get some exercise without it being too strenuous for the kids. With friends, for a real workout, opt for the longer routes that will test your muscles. The best part is that you park your car at the base and a minibus takes you upstream, then you paddle back to the base. No need to rush to catch the minibus! Some routes do n't even have a set return time – you're completely free!

      Couleurs Périgord is a small rental company with a friendly, young, and dynamic atmosphere. Experts in canoeing and kayaking, they are themselves active paddlers and will be able to advise you on canoe handling, paddle techniques, and routes (an introductory session is, of course, provided before each departure). A waterproof container will be provided so you can carry your personal belongings without the risk of getting them wet. Couleurs Périgord also offers multi-day canoe trips for a true canoeing holiday in the Périgord region. Following in the footsteps of the river bargemen for 5 days, for example, you can bring your own food and book a campsite at one of the many campsites located along the banks of the Dordogne River.

      The Dordogne is a calm river in summer, making it ideal for family outings. Children aged 5 and up can join the trips when accompanied by an adult. Everyone must wear a life jacket ! During your river trip, you'll find plenty of beaches where you can stop for a picnic, sunbathe, or even take a dip . Don't hesitate any longer and come experience one of the most fun and refreshing outdoor activities in the Périgord region!

      A great idea: Do you love adventure? Couleurs Périgord also offers introductory caving trips, a fantastic way to discover an original, unusual, and well-supervised activity. Children love it, and adults do too!

    Only 5 stars because we can't give it more! A superb introduction to caving thanks to Laurent. His passion, experience, teaching skills, etc., quickly helped us forget our initial fears. It was a real pleasure to scramble on and through the rocks in complete safety, with Laurent's kindness, who willingly shared his knowledge. At the end of the session, I had only one desire: to go even deeper into the caves, perhaps on a "sporty" outing...
