Frequently asked

At the port of Limeuil, 50 metres from the base. The car park is municipal.
Can we swim at the finish?

Do I need to book?
Strongly recommended in July and August and at weekends. Otherwise, call before you come to check the day's departures.
Is this the same base as "Canoës Limeuil"?
