    • Philippe COLOMY, former competitor and member of the French canoe team and state-certified canoe-kayak graduate, invites you to share his passion with his entire team.

      "Go back in time by going down the Vézère" In the heart of the Périgord Noir and the Vallée de l'Homme, the Vézère, little sister of the Dordogne, is worth the detour.

      Located on the banks of the charming little village of Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère, a stone's throw from the major sites of La Roque Saint-Christophe, Le Thot, Château de Losse and Lascaux IV.

      What better way than a rental canoe to discover the Vézère Valley and the prestigious sites that dot it!

      WHETHER YOU ARE: alone or with family, holiday organizer, educator or teacher, we invite you to discover the Vézère valley with our rental canoes, and the Moyenne Vézère by raft with a passionate and qualified team.

    Superb experience! Very warm welcome and a lovely two-hour walk (2 adults + 1 dog). I recommend it.

    This week, we went on a descent guided by Philippe Colomy with a group of around thirty people, two-thirds of whom are visually impaired (blind or partially sighted). From the welcome to the farewell, we had a 5-star experience, combining technique, passion, heritage and transmission. A huge thank you to Philippe and his colleagues! EQLA asbl
