Village Vacances La Gineste

Stay close to home for a range of excellent options on and off the water, including fishing, swimming and canoeing on the lake, or horse and pony excursions starting from the site. More canoeing can be sorted about 25 kilometres away from Argentat, well worth the trip as you'll be canoeing on the Upper Dordogne. The riverside town itself is scenic to wander around, as is handsome Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne, in a wooded valley a few kilometres from here, and the town of Tournemire, 20 kilometres away on a hilltop overlooking the Doire river valley. Ancient and highly famed sites can be reached from around here too: the Gouffre de Padirac or Padirac Chasm, the most visited cave site in France (35 kilometres); the Puy Mary volcano, the widest in Europe (also 35 kilometres), and Rocamadour, the stunning cliffside village with the set of religious buildings known as the Cité Réligieuse.
