Water sports and leisure activities -And-Saint-Julien

In the land of canoeing, Stand Up Paddle Périgord has opened France's first river-based Stand Up Paddle rental school. Stand Up Paddle or SUP is a new water sport, an outdoor leisure activity derived from surfing. It's practiced on long, bulky, highly stable boards with a large paddle. A great way to get out on the water, it's fun, easy and accessible to all, and is said to keep you in shape. Initiations, accompanied descents among medieval castles and prehistoric remains are on the program.

From the base at Cénac or Siorac-en-Périgord, there is a wide choice of routes ranging from seven to thirty kilometers between Saint-Julien-de-Lampon and Limeuil. You're free to ride for half a day, a full day or just a few hours. With a little training and determination, it's also possible to go on real treks of two or more days on the waters of the Dordogne, from 38 to 110 km. It's a wonderful experience in an exceptional natural setting that will leave you with wonderful memories, whether with friends or family.
