Tour programme
- Preparation:
The meeting point is directly at our base in Vallon Pont d'Arc, 15 minutes before the departure, not far from the starting point of the circuit, where your equipment will be provided (life jacket, waterproof canoe and paddle). Then, a short initiation on the use of your equipment will be given to you.
- Tour:
Once on the water, go at your own pace and enjoy the green landscapes of the Ardèche Gorges and its nature reserve. During the tour punctuated with rapids, discover the magnificent Pont d'Arc. In the evening, you can stop in one of the two authorized bivouacs of Gaud and Gournier. You will spend a unique night in the middle of nature! The next day, take your canoe and paddle to the finish line in Sauze.
- Return:
Once you reached the end of the descent, a shuttle (last departure: 5 pm) is waiting to take you back to the base where your vehicle is waiting for you and where you can debrief your day with your family or friends!
