Adventure & Adrenaline Tours & Trips in Southern France
The Dordogne region offers some great variety for active travelers, especially with multi-day canoe trips that follow the river past medieval castles and limestone cliffs. Many of our guests start in Rocamadour and paddle downstream to Carennac, Meyronne and other spots, mixing in swimming, cave exploring and village visits along the way. It works really well for families since you can adjust how far you paddle each day and add rest days to explore places like Souillac and the Padirac cave system.
