Which package to pick?
The Mini Trip 6 km is ideal from age 7: 1h30 on the water, passing under The Pont d'Arc and fun rapids, a gentle way to discover the river.
The Midi Trip 12 km offers 3 hours of paddling and the canoe slides, ideal for a more sporty half-day with friends or as a couple.
The 24, 30 or 36 km trips take you to the heart of the Ardèche Gorges: cliffs, Cathédrale, rapids and wild beaches.
The 2-day bivouacs combine a descent and a night in nature at the Gaud or Gournier sites, for a different way to experience the Ardèche Gorges.
