Limeuil
Limeuil ('most beautiful villages of the Dordogne') is 30 kilometres west of Sarlat, on the Dordogne River.
Tourist Information and places to visit
Limeuil is found at the point where the Vézere River meets the Dordogne River. Two attractive bridges cross the rivers at the confluence, at the edge of the village.
The village has an attractive park, albeit slightly abandoned in appearance, at the top of the steep hill on which it stands. Below, the steep streets lead down passed an attractive assortment of houses, in the architectural style very typical of the Dordogne - with their yellow stone and steep sloping rooves.
At the bottom of the hill, as well as a couple of small cafes, is the river. It is the river that is really the big attraction at Limeuil, for two reasons:
First, there is a safe and easily accessible river beach right in the centre of the village, very popular in the warmer months of the year. Second, canoeing - canoes can be hired and more extensive canoeing trips organised in the village.
Our experience of Limeuil is that it is usually possible to find a quiet shady spot to relax, while the children have a play in the water. Everyone is happy, especially after a hot day travelling along the sometimes crowded Dordogne roads when tempers are becoming a bit frayed. We recommend you do the same!
