We had one person get out and help the others over the weirs. The town itself is beautiful, and gets quite busy, you'll likely have a small crowd watching you trying to navigate the town weir and the small chute over the second weir. The 8km is an easy paddle too - we took longer than 2 hours - mainly as we let the kids go together and they spent their time zig-zagging down the river. The river is never very deep, and at places is very very shallow. My only word of warning is that you are likely to get wet - possibly slightly damp, potentially soaked through. It is an unaccompanied trip - so you just get slid into the water and get paddling. Basically paddle toward Brantome - where there are two weirs to slide down. The give some fairly basic instructions in English - but it's not very complicated. It was quite busy, so we waited until last for our group of 12 - which meant for almost the entire trip we had the river to ourselves. You pay your 15 Euros each and are issued with a paddle and buoyancy aid, you then jump on the bus which takes you to the launch. It's a fairly basic operation - we went for the 8km/2hour journey. 60 km from Sarlat, at the Neufont lake in Saint-Amand-de-Vergt.Having been to come through Brantome and seen what a beautiful place it was and the canoes/kayaks trying to get over the weirs and chute - we booked with Allo Canoes for a couple of days later.30 km from Sarlat, opposite Le Bournat park, in Le Bugue, with Canoëric (8 courses from 5 to 26 km on 4-seater canoes and kayaks with files).
