Relax and listen to the expert commentary as you float past the tranquil banks. Watch out for the kingfishers, which can often be seen diving for fish along the river.
Day Three
Choose this morning's half-day optional excursion and come with us to the celebrated Chateau de Monbazillac, a beautiful Renaissance mansion surrounded by vineyards famed for their sweet white wine.

Day Four
On today's full-day tour you'll discover the delightful medieval town of Sarlat in the heart of the Perigord Noir. With its maze of narrow, cobbled streets and the warm golden sandstone of its beautiful, restored mansions, Sarlat is arguably one of the most attractive towns in all of France.
