ACTIVITIES
From golf to horse riding, biking, canoeing or fishing, the Dordogne has something to offer everyone.
Canoes and kayaks are available to hire along the banks of the Dordogne and Vezere rivers. Being wide and generally shallow, both rivers can be enjoyed whether you are a beginner or a skilled amateur.

If you are an angler, there are plentiful rivers and lakes in which to fish. From Chub to Carp almost all types of fish can be caught, indeed the pretty river which runs through ‘Le Banquet’ contains Trout and Roach.
On site, ‘Le Banquet’ has a games and information room equipped with table tennis, table football, pool, darts etc. If you are not feeling too active then why not wander through the grounds or relax by the swimming pool.
