Two days in the Gorges, this a unique experience !

L’Aventure
- 36Km
- 2Days
- 8h00Average
paddle time
Two days of adventure with night in bivouac in the heart of the Ardèche Gorges Nature Reserve, and the combination of 5 km, 7 km and 24 km courses for a superb and unforgettable descent of the Ardèche by canoe.
Pack Eau Vive I
- 7 + 24 Km
- 2Days
- 6h00Average
paddle time
The 31 km canoe descent seduces you, but too sporty for 1 day, and the night in a bivouac does not appeal to you. Opt for this pack, choose your 2 days of descent and the order of the routes 7 km + 24 km.
Pack Eau Vive II
- 12 + 24 Km
- 2Days
- 7h00Average
paddle time
Same principle as Pack I: 2 descents over 2 days, not necessarily consecutive, without night in a bivouac, in the order that suits you to cover 12 km and 24 km and experience of these 2 beautiful descents at your leisure.
