Sarlat isnt on the river, so no, you cant hire a canoe in the town. But don’t let a canoe’s simplicity fool you. Re: Canoeing & other activities in Sarlat. These boats have remained virtually unchanged in design for thousands of years. From 9 to 25 km come and enjoy the different routes to discover all the castles ans the beauty of the Dordogne. We landed a couple of times at beaches en route for breaks, a picnic and a swim, and it ended up taking us 4 hours rather than 3.

In the end I’m glad we chose to go all the way to Beynac (the 3 hour route) as the end of the shorter route to Castelnaud (2 hours) came up way too soon we weren’t ready to stop! We were a little bit achey at the end but it didn’t feel like a massive effort, even on a very hot day - the river helps push you along. We agonised about which route to choose with our young kids (6 and 8). The setup is slick: from in the car to on the water in ten minutes, and a shuttle bus to take you back to the starting point from the end of the route downriver. Stay in Sarlat and take daytrips to see some of the prehistoric caves in the Dordogne and rent a canoe in La Roque Gageac that you can use to travel to see the gardens at Chteau de Marqueyssac, Beynac-et-Cazenac and Castelnaud along the banks of the Dordogne River. The scenery along the river is jaw-dropping, with beaches, cliffs, caves, castles, and picturesque villages at every turn.
