For many years, the Dordogne was the scene of a fabulous adventure, that of the gabariers - the boatmen of the upper Dordogne. Woodmen or fishermen.... they were above all intrepid navigators who brought the wood needed by Bordelais coopers down to Aquitaine. You can relive this adventure and let yourself be rocked by the waters of the Dordogne.

The Dordogne between Argentat and Beaulieu hosts a population of exceptionally good trout, as well as grayling, and second category fish, such as Pike, Zander (pike-perch) as well as Carp.
The Correze possesses a huge network of little rivers and streams in which you can catch trout, gudgeon etc. Holidays, courses and even guides are organised.
