Custom Routes for the Perfect Canoe Camping Trip

From the limestone cliffs of the Vézère to the world-famous panoramas of the Dordogne, every mile of our Canoe Camping routes reveals a treasure. Paddle through the “Valley of Man” at Les Eyzies, discover the hidden beauty of Roc de l’Agranel, or navigate beneath the 5 Great Castles (Beynac, Castelnaud…). Our team will help you craft a personalized route, including the best stops for meals and campsites to ensure your expedition is both wild and comfortable.

Gear & Logistics for Your River Expedition

Success in Canoe Camping in the Dordogne requires the right equipment. Our professional fleet of fiberglass canoes is specifically designed for long-distance touring. We provide all the essentials: waterproof barrels (up to 80L) to protect your gear, picnic baskets, and expert advice. If you bring your own camping equipment, we’ll point out the best bivouac spots and calculate daily distances based on your experience level.
