Boating on The Baiise at Nerac
Today I hired a boat at the port in Nerac with my family. We were 10 in total and it cost €45 for 1 hour. All the children were suppled with life jackets.
The boat was outboard motor driven, plenty of room for up to 14 people with a canopy protecting you from the sun. The boats range from 4 people up to 14 like ours, making it suitable for groups of various sizes. The hour allowed us to travel up to the lock gates at Nazareth and back again.
We saw ducks, which we fed bread to and a couple of aquatic mammals. the river was quite busy and we were overtaken by a number of holiday boats. The children enjoyed taking it in turns a the wheel and playing captain.
The overall experience was a good one. The cost not prohibitive. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Nerac is only 20 minutes from Le Clozet and has many attractions to occupy families who stay in our gites.
