Vézère

Length: 192 km
Source: Plateau des Millevaches
Estuary : Limeuil
Particularity : Wild and green, the Vézère becomes calmer as it enters the Périgord. A witness to the birth of humanity, it is classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

From Montignac-Lascaux to Limeuil, the Vézère runs alongside the main prehistoric sites of the Périgord Noir. Quiet but wild, its greenery and cliffs are ideal for canoeing. Between castles and troglodyte fortresses, it surprises with its rich heritage and culture. Ideal for canoe or kayak excursions with family or friends, it has small islands for wild bivouacs and pretty villages for supplies.
