Where can you go canoeing?

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced canoe-kayak enthusiast, you too can test your skills on the Vézère and take advantage of our 100% Gaillard playground.

Whether you're on your own or in a team, come and get your exercise at the BASE Sports et Loisirs Vézère, located at Saillant de Voutezac, which offers a range of water-based activities, including canoeing and kayaking. The waters of the Vézère river are calmer here than in Treignac, making it easier to learn.

Other activities to discover:

La Base also offers a wide range of land-based and artistic activities. Whether you want to take to the air on the Via Ferrata, get your moustache blowing in the wind on the mountain bikes or play Robin Hood with the archery... This place, with its many activities, is sure to please young and old alike.

And if you want to extend your sporting break, discover the Lac du Causse with its exceptional views worthy of Hollywood sets, contact Audrey CARIA on 05 87 01 61 02 or by email at groupes@brive-tourisme.com.

Practical information :

  • You can canoe and kayak from the age of 7. You need to be able to swim.
  • In our region, canoeing is available on the Vézère and Dordogne rivers, as well as on a number of lakes. We invite you to discover our canoe-kayak section to find out about all the service providers offering this activity.
