The organization is good and simple... Be careful with the GPS link, which leads to a road several meters from the meeting point. But if you re-enter the address, you'll find it easily, so no problem.
The explanations are clear, in both languages.
The option of several routes is a nice touch.
We had an unexpected change in the weather, but everything went well nonetheless!
This experience has rekindled my love for canoeing, so a very good trip overall! 🤗

It was a great adventure with the family, two adults and two kids (11 & 9). Only ine of us had a previous experience kayaking, but everyone had a great time.
