Here are three such beaches in the Dordogne that provide a beautiful spot to soak up the region\u2019s unmatchable landscape.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Limeuil<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Limeuil is regarded one of the \u201cmost beautiful village in France.\u201d Laying at the confluence of the Vezere and Dordogne Rivers, Limeuil is home to a fantastic sandy river beach. Being shallow at the edge, the beach is a great choice for families with young children.<\/p>\n<p>If you can manage to drag yourself away from this beautiful beach, wandering around the cobbled streets of this postcard-perfect village, past honey-coloured houses and perfectly-manicured gardens, is definitely worth its while.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saint-Aulaye<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The small village of Saint-Aulaye is situated on the banks of the River Dronne. This picturesque sandy beach caters for the steady throng of beachgoers it attracts particularly in the summer months, with a bar, restaurant and picnic area. There are also a number of activities for children set up and a lifeguard present, making Saint-Aulaye a safe place for families to lay out their towels for the day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saint-Julien-de-Lampon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Saint-Julien-de-Lampon is a pretty village positioned on the bank of the Dordogne River. This lively village enjoys fabulous views across the Dordogne valley and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>A small beach river can be found close to the bridge that crosses the river. Backed by verdant trees, it\u2019s possible to find shade on this pretty little beach when the Dordogne sun soars overhead. Canoe hire is also available from this idyllic spot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you can\u2019t resist a picturesque river setting, then the Dordogne should definitely be on your \u2018to go\u2019 list.
