Blog: Tourism news from the region

The Dordogne is a magnificent river, which you can canoe or kayak down from one of the many water sports centres along the way. One of these is less than 10 minutes from the Moulin, and it was from this base that we canoed down the Dordogne on several occasions.

There are several routes on offer, ranging from 9 to 27 km, and thanks to the river's easy flow, they are suitable for everyone as long as you know how to swim.

Just 20 minutes' drive from the Moulin du Boisset is Saint-Sozy, a pretty village close to the Dordogne. This is the starting point for our new hike. On a loop of just over 8 km, you'll discover a multitude of varied landscapes representative of the Dordogne Valley.

Right from the start, you're surrounded by fields of corn and walnut trees, grown on the fertile banks of the Dordogne. The river flows peacefully nearby, but you can still hear the cries of joy from children bathing in its waters, a group of young people camp on the beach of a small island, a fisherman casts his rod, a canoe goes by, a swan splashes about, there's life.
