While we were photographing La Roque from its west, immediately below us in the river appeared a launch taking sightseers on a trip through the waters nearby to see the adjacent castles and vistas. This vessel no longer is in service. It has bee colorfully replaced by a rmotorized replica of a sailed merchant river boat (a gabarre). This is boarded at La Roche. If we had been younger, we would have based ourselves in the town and did this area of the river in a canoe or a kayak. The outfitters who supply these services are listed in the website listed below.

A Cliff-Side Dordogne River Town

Only 8 km from Sarlat, we drove through La Roque-Gageac but did not stop because we could not find a parking spot and because we were not interested in a touristy small cliff-side town, since we were...
