Sightseeing
If you enjoy a bit of cave sightseeing, then this is for you..
A different approach to your regular guided tours, as this one is a guided tour by a small boat within the huge cave system.
Normally French spoken with English written cards, but the sights tell it all.
You can step out off the boat for a midway walking tour, before your journey back by boat.
Worth a visit.
Take a light rain smock, as you can get a little wet from above.

Lovely setting to do some shopping, with some great architecture within the town of Sarlat.
Biggest market is held on Saturdays, for all the fresh local produce, and clothing, pottery etc....
If visiting the Market on Saturday, best to get there before 09:00 to ensure parking.
There is a smaller market held on Wednesday too. (Mainly produce)

Entertainment & Activities
There is an abundance of canoe hire along the river Dordogne, and the closest one from the house is located along the banks as you enter Cenac itself.
We suggest though, hiring a canoe from Canoe Loisirs in Vitrac (5 min drive from the house), as you can park your car there, and take a canoe and paddle your way down river through Cenac, and finish at Castelnaud, where you will be collected and taken back to your car in Vitrac.
There are various routes you can elect to be collected from.
The river is actually quite shallow most of the way.
