GENERAL INFORMATION

COPEYRE CANOES: YOUR SECURITY IS OUR PRIORITY

The river Dordogne is classed I/II by the Fédération Française de Canoë-Kayak It doesn't present any particular difficulty and is accessible to everyone.
However it is still best to bear in mind and respect certain elementary safety requirements :

• You must be ABLE TO SWIM
• You must WEAR A LIFE-JACKET at all times
• Children must be ACCOMPANIED by an adult
• Choose the distance to canoe according to your physical condition
• Keep wetting the nape of your neck at regular intervals to avoid adverse effects
• Keep well clear of tree branches and trunks and the pillars of bridges
• Please don't disturb fishermen
• Keep to the centre of the river
• On river-bends keep to the inside drossage * (Click here !)

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT :

Hat, T-shirt, shorts, water, sun-cream, shoes (not sandals)

On the Adventure Package : bring along warm clothes and covers for nights by the river and your camping kit. We can supply water-proof containers, a tent and foam mattresses if you have none.

Your belongings can be carried from point to point so that you don't need to load up your craft with your tent, gas burner and so-on... Just ask for this service... it's included at no extra charge.

WHERE TO STAY ?

At each stage you'll easily find a camp-site by the river or a hotel nearby (everything from tourist-class to hotel-chateaux). Just choose and make your own reservation.

If you pick the Adventure Package and set out for several days, then you can camp for free on certain of our hire sites. Just ask our advice.

little beaches for a picnic (please bring your own)
