Walking and Cycling:
If you like walking, road cycling or mountain biking there are many beautiful routes on the door step, through forest tracks or winding through beautiful villages and hamlets built in the traditional correzien stone. There is a large choice of easy family routes, or more difficult routes to improve fitness including very difficult and technical cycling. Bike hire is available through us.
Watersports:
The surrounding area is also ideal for watersports, including swimming, fishing and canoeing at the stunning local lake (l’etang de laborde, a ten minute walk), or descent canoeing and kayaking on the Dordogne with AND (outdoor adventure sports company based at Argentat and our local lake)
At Marcillac-la-Croisille (15-20 mins drive) there is a very large lake with a centre that does all manner of water sports and land based activities including sailing, waterskiing (July and August); ropes courses through the trees; archery etc. all of which are supervised by qualified instructors. This lake also has a supervised swimming beach through out the summer.
