Water Activities by the River
Our campsite, with its feet in the water, nestled in a green setting, also caters to sports enthusiasts looking for an active vacation while enjoying water activities along the Dordogne river.
As if being close to one of the most beautiful rivers in France wasn’t enough, you’ll find just steps away from the campsite a vast body of water, ideal for river-based activities like canoeing, which will allow you to discover the Dordogne castles from a new perspective.
For family fun, we invite you to rent a canoe in Corrèze. After a few strokes of the paddle, take a break and observe the surroundings as you navigate. Need to cool off? Dive into the river from your boat before heading back.
On the Gibanel lake, one of the most beautiful lakes in Corrèze, you can also try your hand at a trendy water sport straight from Polynesia: stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). This sport requires good physical condition and a great sense of balance, but is accessible to beginners and children. Standing on your board, you’ll paddle to move at your own pace. Combining elements of surfing and canoeing, this trendy sport, which can be practiced both in the sea and on rivers, strengthens various parts of the body, particularly the abdominals.
Also, discover the Causse lake, probably the most famous lake in Corrèze.
