Canoeing on the Vezere River

On a hot Summers day, taking a canoe down the Vezere valley is a real pleasure. From Le Bugue, you are taken up river by car to your point of embarkation. Entering the river, which flows from East to West, the lazy current will bring you back to your starting point. You can take as long as you like over the journey, perhaps stopping for a picnic on the river bank.
