These Gabare were in history flat-bottomed boats, used to transport all types of goods along the river. This came to and end with the introduction of railroads and the use of many bridges and roads. These old bridges are still there at regular intervals along the river.

Modern Gabares offer a nice tour at the Dordogne river, the many views at castles and villages are priceless.

La Roque-Gageac - This village is one of the most famous villages in the Dordogne department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, southwestern France. La Roque-Gageac, perched above the Dordogne river, below a huge limestone cliff since the 12th century. The village is a member of the "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France" association, indeed one of the most beautiful villages of France.
