![]() This proved beneficial for taking photos too. Since we started early the sun was at our backs. I slathered on 50 proof sun block and I wore long sleeved pants and shirts in light cotton as well as my large sunhat. I really liked this because after I energetically paddled for the first few hundred yards DH said that there really wasn’t any need as the current would carry us along at the rate of 5k per hour (he had done his homework!) and he could easily steer from the rear with his clever paddle. Thirdly, Le Sioux provided one regular paddle pour moi and a double bladed paddle for DH. Secondly, our green plastic canoe/kayak hybrid was different from everyone else’s red plastic canoe so we felt unique. Plus one more euro for a waterproof box that turned out to be a plastic barrel big enough to hold several purses or bags. First of all, Le Sioux was more reasonable than other places, just 10 euros each for a three hour 13k trip from Cénac to just past Beynac. It wasn’t until we returned that we realized we had gone to the wrong place by mistake but it turned out to be a happy accident. We had picked up a number of canoe brochures but followed Carlux’s recommendation to use a place in Cénac just below Domme. My plan was to be at the canoe place by 9:00 when it opened but DH had other ideas so it was closer to 10:00 by the time we were life-jacketed and ready to push off. You can get information at the Sarlat tourist office. ![]() We did see actual kayaks in some places along the river so they are available. Travelbug, we had an idylic canoe trip down the Dordogne last June in a plastic canoe/kayak rented in Cénac.
