Travel back in time by canoeing or kayaking down the Vézère

The Vézère originates on the Millevaches Plateau and joins the Dordogne at Limeuil.
In between, it became the river for the 2000 World Kayak Championships in Corrèze and calms down in Périgord, offering a better view of the Vézère Valley.

Calm yet wild, its greenery and cliffs will charm you.
We invite you to come and admire the prestigious sites along the Vézère by canoe: travel back in time as you paddle down the Vézère !
