Luxury Kayak trip in France.
France
|
Jul 2 - Jul 14, 2026
We wanted a very specific type of trip. Kayaking some calm rivers in France, going from town to town and staying in luxury accomodations and having everyting taken care of for us. All we wanted to do was get placed in a kayak and paddle and enjoy the peace and beauty of a river, and for others to take care of the rest.
I called a lot of places- and the ONLY one who could do anyting was Amadine.
She took care of everything, a remarkable two week adventure. 5 days on the rivers, and the rest visiting the sites of a beautiful part of the world.
They kayaking was just as we wanted, the accomodations best available, drivers spot on and timely.
I could not have asked for better.
I would suggest Kimkim for very specific bespoke touring.
Hotel Reviews
No air conditioning, and no hot water. Beautiful and nice people but AC is a must.
We stayed at Le Petit Manoir in Sarlat and really loved it. The hotel was lovely, centrally located, and the staff were very accommodating, helping us with dinner reservations and local plans. The pool was a great bonus, and the air conditioning was very effective and refreshing.
The Hotel Alchimy in Albi was nice, and the restaurant there was excellent with very good service. However, the air conditioning in our room was not effective during the heat wave, and we had to request a fan to stay comfortable. Despite this, the staff were very accommodating and tried their best to help.
Activity Reviews
The kayaking experience with Saporito was excellent. The company was very accommodating, and the app they provided was fantastic, allowing us to know exactly where we were on the river at all times. The whole kayaking trip from town to town was very well organized with car and driver transfers, which made it very enjoyable and stress-free.
The visit to the Lascaux Caves was very enjoyable. Amandine was very helpful in rescheduling our tickets due to the Tour de France road closures, which made the experience smooth and stress-free.
Visiting Chateau Malandez, Josephine Baker's home, was beautiful and a highlight of our trip. It was a meaningful and well-planned part of our itinerary.
The exploration of Beynac-et-Cazenac and the visit to Beynac Castle were very interesting and enjoyable. It was a great addition to our trip and well organized by Amadine.
