点评:Have just spent a beautiful September afternoon, with family and friends, paddling on open-top kayaks down the Dordogne from Pont de Gorlejac to La Roque-Gageac.
Obviously helped by glorious sunshine we spent about 3 hours on the 17km trip stopping off for riverside snacks halfway. The scenery was glorious although, not many castles/chateaus on this particular stretch of river. It was very quiet, being end-of-season. The river was slightly higher than normal and noticably colder than on previous trips.
We saw herons, egrets, kingfishers and other birdlife as well as some large barbel - but few other fish which was a surprise.
The canoe company 'Canoe Carsac Explorando' were great. Competitively priced and provided good quality canoes and safety equipment. Their two staff (more in peak season) picked us up exactly on time from the finishing point.
Not a big issue, but if arriving from Sarlat, at Grolejac, the canoe base isn't clearly marked (it is signed if driving northwards). The turning, into a small road, is immediately on your right hand side, when you cross over the bridge.

多亏了灿烂的阳光,我们在这段17公里的航程中度过了大约3个小时,中途还停下来在河边享用点心。沿途的风景美不胜收,不过在这一段河段上城堡或庄园并不多。由于已是旅游淡季,河面格外宁静。河水比平时略高,温度也明显比以往几次游览时要冷。
我们看到了苍鹭、白鹭、翠鸟及其他各种鸟类,还看到了一些体型较大的鲤鱼——但其他种类的鱼很少,这让我们有些意外。
“Canoe Carsac Explorando”这家皮划艇租赁公司很不错。价格具有竞争力,提供的皮划艇及安全设备质量也很好。他们的两名工作人员(旺季时人数会更多)准时在终点处接上了我们。
这不算什么大问题,不过如果是从萨尔拉出发的话……在格罗莱雅克,皮划艇基地的标识并不明显(如果是向北行驶则会有指示牌)。过桥后,右侧即刻出现一条小路,沿着这条路转弯即可。
