Port de Cavernes

The village of Cavernes is located in a meander on the left bank of the Dordogne, upstream from the Bec d'Ambès and downstream from Libourne. It is part of the commune of Saint-Loubès which appeared with its port around the 12th century. Most of its activities revolve around the river between river transport and fishing. If it is first of all a fishermen's village, agriculture and especially viticulture are very present. It is a marina with a pontoon that shelters about twenty pleasure and fishing boats all year long, a nautical club in full evolution that counts 90 members.
