Family of canoeists on the Dordogne in front of Chateau

This popular corner of France is a superb location for an active family holiday. The junction of the Vezere and Dordogne Rivers hosts a excellent range of interests and activity, and on this itinerary there is the chance to try a little of everything. We take easy canoe trips down both the Vezere and Dordogne, cycle past pretty villages and along riverside tracks, explore stunning castles and a lively market town. During your free time there are optional activities including horse-riding and a visit to the Grand Roc caves. The canoeing is perfect for kids, as the water is slow moving, the canoes can carry 2 adults and 2 children, and each day we canoe downstream, ending back at our campsite. Activities aside, the area has been populated since prehistoric times and has a rich and fascinating history with an abundance of prehistoric artefacts, mediaeval towns and villages, churches and chateaux.
