Gabares NORBERT

  IThe village of La Roque Gageac, which lies exactly halfway between the source of the River Dordogne and the Gironde Estuary, was a major river trade centre in the heyday of inland navigation. For nearly one hour, comfortably settled in aboard a replica of a garbare, an 18th-century barge, let yourself drift down the “hope river” once used to transport wood, wine and spices. Your guide will tell you the history of the bargemen and the legendary castles, which are among the most beautiful in Périgord.
