Limeuil
A hillside village where the Vézère meets the Dordogne, with a panoramic garden and the starting point for canoe trips at the confluence.
Limeuil sits on a hill where the Vézère flows into the Dordogne. It is one of 'The Most Beautiful Villages of France'. Steep stone-paved streets are lined with craftsmen's workshops and garden sheds. The old castle at the top has been turned into the Limeuil Panoramic Garden (admission charged), from where you can see the two rivers meet. At the confluence there are two distinctively shaped stone bridges and a small sandy beach, a great spot for renting canoes, swimming and picnicking. It is about 40 km from Sarlat.
