Le port

The Old Town : The old quarters are full of narrow lanes lined with half-timbered houses dating from the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries.

The Port : The port and the quayside testify to the importance of the river’s past when the gabares moored here to unload wood brought down from the Limousin and to load up with barrels to take to Bordeaux.
In the summer gabare trips (in a reconstruction of the typical boats) down the Dordogne set off from Bergerac.
