Dordogne, River in southwestern France
The Dordogne River extends 483 kilometers from the Massif Central mountains through five departments before joining the Garonne River near Bordeaux.
Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, the river functioned as a primary transportation route for wood, slate, salt, and wine between Argentat and Bordeaux.
The river valley contains numerous medieval villages, ancient castles, and traditional markets where visitors can experience regional gastronomy and wine traditions.
The river offers multiple recreational activities including canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and boat tours from April through October with equipment rentals in major towns.
The Dordogne River demonstrates a tidal bore phenomenon, where incoming tides create waves that flow upstream against the river current.
