Our 6 km kayak and canoe hire on the Tarn river is full of surprises! Thanks to its many rapids, you will not have time to get bored. This trip in the heart of the Tarn Gorges will give you the opportunity to see landscapes that you will not soon forget. Between authentic villages and unique rock formations, you will not know where to turn. Paddle at your own pace and take time to admire the scenery during your stops on the river's beaches: you can keep the canoe for the whole day.
