Limeuil: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

At Limeuil Port, the Dordogne and Vézère rivers converge; this is where you will find an inviting, shaded spot by the water. Historically, Limeuil Port served as a landing place for traditional flat-bottomed gabarres, which transported goods and chestnut wood towards Bordeaux.
