Whether you are with family or friends, this short descent of the Ardèche promises you great memories!
You will navigate on a very flat portion of the river, with no rapids to cross and no particular difficulties. This course will allow you to learn the canoe or kayak simply and easily by navigating on a stable body of water and without too much current. It is ideal for families, especially with young children!
For more fun, you will cross the famous slides (canoe passes). These developed and secured passages in the dikes allow you to overcome these obstacles without having to get off your boat. They add a little touch of thrill and fun to your adventure.
The 13km route also allows you to go through these slides: more info here!
In terms of organization, nothing could be simpler: we take you to your starting point by bus and you go down the river at your own pace. You arrive directly at the pier of our rental base in Vallon Pont d'Arc!
