A Family Kayaking Adventure on the Dordogne
As we said in the last kayaking blog, we started this family adventure around Europewanting to finish every opportunity – not leave things half done!
For those wanting to complete the whole journey, you’d start at Calviac towards the eventual finish alongside the magnificent fortified cliff-top settlement of Beynac. Some 35km of paddling!
The river has a rich history playing a major strategic part in the One Hundred Year Warhence the fortified cliff-top settlements and chateaus. Has it’s own foods… most notably its truffles. Its wildlife is equally impressive with huge heron nests, natural bird sanctuary, fish and dragonflies.
the joy is finding adventures along the way
Both girls loved the chance to jump off the canoes and explore the cave system that this region is famed for (think Lascaux).. or swimming the shallow rapids or jumping off 15ft high rope swings into the river..
