We'll be staying in Domme, and would like to emulate one of those leisurely barge tours we saw on Rick's show. I'm only seeing trips of several days, or 1-2 hour tours. Any suggestions?
If you're familiar with Domme, any suggestions for things to eat and see nearby (we'll have a car) would be appreciated.
I guess what you call "barge" is the Gabarre.
Several short excursions (about 1 hour) in gabarres are possible from Domme.
"Les Gabarres Norbert" located in La Roque-Gageac, 10 minutes from Domme:

There is a lot to see in the Dordogne. Here is an area located about 75 km northeast of Domme where several unmissable places are close to each other:
Collonges-la Rouge, classified as one of the most beautiful villages in France.
Very close to Collonges, the castle of Turenne: also classified as one of the most beautiful villages in France.

15 minutes by car from Collonges: the medieval village of Curemonte, one of the most beautiful villages in France again!

On the road to Collonge-Turenne- Curemonte , you can stop at Martel, a village dating from the 12th century (and come say hello if I'm around):

And of course, the very famous and touristic Rocamadour, Sarlat la Caneda, etc.
About things to eat, the region is known for its black truffles, everything made from duck: confit, foie gras, duck breast...etc.
There are also many nut producers.
