Allow time to explore Beynac after your river paddle and before the return shuttle trip.

Montfort loop, called
Cingle de Montfort
(longer two-day trip possible).

The Nine-Mile Paddle from Vitrac to Beynac:
This is the most interesting, scenic,
and handy trip if you're based in or near Sarlat. Vitrac, on the river close to Sarlat, is a
good starting point. And, with its mighty castle and pleasant hotels and restaurants, Beyn-
ac delivers the perfect finale to your journey.
Here's a rundown of the two-hour Vitrac-Beynac adventure: Leave Vitrac, paddling
at an easy pace through lush, forested land. The fortified hill town of Domme will be
dead ahead. Pass through Heron Gulch, and after about an hour you'll come to La Roque-
Gageac (one of two easy and worthwhile stops before Beynac).
