Boat Trips Les Gabarres (Flat bottom boats) are a great way to discover the Dordogne River. You are able to take the Gabarre from the village of Baynac (Park next to the river below the Beynac castle) and from RocqueGageac it is truly a wonderful experience. The Beynac castle, in itself, perched on a cliff top is a spectacular site. This excursion will give you a good introduction to the history of the area. You will be able to enjoy the wonderful views of Castelnaud, Fayrac, and Marqueyssac and hear about the stories each one has to offer.
Most visitors to the Dordogne enjoy visiting the surrounding villages, all within a good walk or cycle distance away. To make your stay more enjoyable we have created a guide to exploring the area with les Chouettes, The French Country Cottages as your base.
