The Gabarres de Bergerac take the waves

The boats resumed their tourist activity on Friday June 12, instead of April 1 traditionally !

It will be a pivotal year in more ways than one for Les Gabarres de Bergerac (Dordogne). Due to the containment and the Covid-19 pandemic, the company lost more than two months of operation. 

A glass between the benches

The return to the Dordogne of these two emblematic Bergerac boats is surrounded by a thousand precautions, in order to guarantee physical distance and respect for barrier gestures. From 55 seats each, Cassiopée and Carpe Diem - these are their names - fall to 28. The benches are separated by a window. Finally, in port and on ships, a forward system has also been implemented.  

With Philippe Lapawa as a tour guide and Thibaud Vogley as captain, the activity will resume. The 55-minute tours will take tourists to the base of the Bergeracois Nautical Sport downstream, passing by Île de la Pelouse, before climbing up to the Gilets Bridge upstream.
