Since Gallo-Roman times, the Dordogne River has been the main communication route between the Massif Central, the Auvergne and Bordeaux. From autumn onwards, when the water was sufficiently high, flat-bottomed boats, known as Gabares, travelled the river.
The Gabarres de Bergerac offer 3 tours on the Dordogne on these now motorized boats.

From Creysse, return to the port of Creysse via the village of Mouleydier, its fisheries, springs, cluzeaux and the port of Tuillères, its lock ladder and hydroelectric dam.
Tour 3 (2H reserved for groups)
Departure from the port of Bergerac, arrival at the port of Creysse with the history of the town of Bergerac, inland waterway transport, fauna and flora, the port of Creysse, its fisheries.
