The Dordogne valley and the causses carry most of the routes. Argentat-sur-Dordogne and Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne line the river, with flat-bottomed gabares, stone quays and loops climbing the wooded slopes.

Aubazines holds a Cistercian abbey and the Canal des Moines, a medieval aqueduct cut into the cliff for a kilometre and a half and still carrying water: a short but memorable route.

Lissac-sur-Couze opens onto the Corrèze causse and the Lac du Causse, where limestone, flora and light already announce the Périgord and the Quercy.

When to go — Spring and autumn lead, but summer stays bearable under the tree cover.
