    Discovering the source of a river is always worthwhile.

      Are 2 sources. The Dore is at over 1800m and here the Dogne, which then becomes the Dordogne. Very nice location, also the forest path up.

        It's amazing how these puny source streams can become such a magnificent river, until it flows into the Atlantic as the Gironde.
