Old Bridge over the Dordogne

Highlight • River

Beautiful relaxing view of the Dordogne! The water is transparent in some places. In summer you will see many canoes.

Argentat

Highlight • Settlement

This superb town, located on the edge of the Dordogne, is worth a stop. It has been known since the Gallic era. The place was strategic and has remained so throughout history. The town controlled the access linking Armorica to the Mediterranean Sea. This situation made it a place where wealth circulated. It was in the 18th and 19th centuries that its economic growth increased thanks to the use of barges, these flat-bottomed boats that could navigate shallow waterways.

The banks of the Dordogne

Highlight • Other

Especially the way from the campsite to get there is nice. It goes partly directly along the Dordogne, where we also bathed. In the ice cold water ;)
The walk takes about 10 minutes.

Between cliffs and the Dordogne

Highlight (Segment) • Other

The narrow road, hardly used in the early season in June, winds along the Dordogne and always leads directly below the vertically rising karst cliffs. A wonderful route to drive.

Les Courtils

Highlight • Other

Small hamlet bordering the Dordogne. From there, looking up, you can see the Truffadou, the small tourist railway whose tracks have been cut into the cliffs. At the time it was used to transport... truffles!
