Take things at your own pace as you navigate the Lot River in the south-west of France on a self-drive boating holiday from Le Boat. Enjoy the natural beauty of the tree-lined banks and rugged cliffs, broken up by flourishing vineyards and stunning medieval towns. You won't need previous boating experience to take your trip in this scenic location - you'll be shown everything you need to know by the friendly on-site crew before you set off.
The Lot River is ideal for a tranquil escape with an atmosphere of unspoilt wilderness. You're sure to see a thriving variety of wildlife along the way, with otters, golden eagles, red kites, nightingales and golden orioles native to the area, as well as colourful orchids and an abundance of butterflies. The waters are perfect for river swimming, and canoeing and kayaking are also popular, with rental locations found along the route. Anyone who enjoys angling should take full advantage of the opportunity to catch wild carp, black bass, roach, rudd, perch, pike, and zander. Of course, there are also plenty of historic towns to stop off at along the way for a spot of sightseeing.
The section of the River Lot available for you to explore stretches from small town of Luzech to the village of Larnagol. Your journey will begin at Le Boat's base in the port village of Douelle.
