Come and discover the stunning viewpoints overlooking the magnificent Dordogne, France's greatest river, as well as the impressive dams along its course, including those at Bort, Marèges, L'Aigle and Le Chastang. Fast-flowing in places, then tranquil in others, such as the stretch between Argentat and Beaulieu, the Dordogne wends its way past old villages with lauze- or tile-covered roofs, such as those in the Xaintrie region.

Explore these inspiring natural landscapes with their magical areas of moorland and you'll discover heather, bilberries and wonderful sites such as the Longeyroux peat bog (tourbière), a favoured habitat for dragonflies and otters.

Cool and refreshing, white water is very much part of the landscape here. Nestling in a verdant setting, these calm rivers and fast-flowing waterfalls will be a source of endless fascination and pleasure as you explore the region.
