Looking for the perfect activity to cool off on a hot day? The descent of the Dourbie and Tarn rivers with a canoe is what you need : 20km of paddling and landscapes! Since the canoe is yours for the whole day, you can enjoy the beaches, picnic along the way and take your time during the descent. You will start on the the wild Dourbie and its gorges then continue on the Tarn, pass under the viaduct of Millau and finish at the troglodytic village of Peyre. Ideal with family (kids above 6) and friends!
Tour programme
We meet at the base around 30min before the time for which you booked your canoe. We will provide you with the equipment, the canoe and give you some tips for your day out - including a map. Once you're ready, we drive you to the starting point of the tour, next to Le Boffi Rocher. Now, just jump on board your canoe and start paddling! When you arrive in Peyre after the 20km, a bus will come to pick you up (departing every hour).
