I highly recommend it, it is an unforgettable experience. Once you do it you don't immediately see to do it again. X do not talk about the impact with nature is something you only see on television. Beautiful!

Thank you very much to the whole Aigue Vive team for this wonderful day.
It is difficult to find among the thirty kayak rental companies in Vallon Pont d'Arc, a company that offers quality equipment, impeccable service, top-notch organization and expert advice. Well that's what Aigue Vive offers!
Thanks to Adrianne for her advice, to David for his help and my VIP trip and to Sébastien for his sympathy.
I highly recommend this company for descending the Ardèche by canoe kayak!
