Imagine being a princess for a day and visiting a fairy-tale castle. You can even imagine Sleeping Beauty living in one of the turrets. The Dordogne is known as "the land of 1001 chateaux" as it is full of the prettiest chateaux with beautiful architecture and look as if they've come straight out of a story book. Some chateaux also have falconry shows featuring American bald eagles, summer evening shows and classical music concerts, so there is something for everyone.

Canoe along the most beautiful stretch of the Vézère River, a shallow river which makes it ideal for families with young children. You will see stunning scenery, passing through prehistoric sights of natural beauty and beautiful chateaux. Park at La Roque Gageac and canoe or kayak at your leisure and perhaps stop off for some lunch or for a swim in the clear, shallow water. A bus will pick you up at various points and take you back to your car. A fun day out for the whole family.
