Leave the hassles of the modern world behind you with its bustle and stress and come and find peace of mind in Ardèche. A final check to ensure that your container has everything you will require by way of equipment – sleeping bag, tent, change of clothing, some last-minute words of advice, the canoe is loaded and the adventure can begin… The adventure raid over two or three days : As you make your way down river you become true adventurers. -You will rediscover calm, peace and serenity, far from the maddening pace of modern civilisation, in the heart of the most beautiful of settings.

- Take all your time and look around you : as you approach, the kingfishers with their blue necks take their flight, the beaver dives under water, slapping the surface with its wide bat-like tail, whilst, way up in the sky, the Bonelli Eagle circles, ready to dive on its prey… - Listen as nature vibrates all around you : a thousand small noises and aromas seem to assail you from every direction. - Navigate at your own rhythm : stop when you feel so enclined as you pass a sun-kissed cove, drink cool and soothing water as it trickles from a spring, take a nap in the shade of a green oak! - You will find yourself turning into a modern day Robinson Crusoe: after your ‘torrid’ day, a bivouac under the stars will be more than welcome. Enjoy a meal amongst friends or as a couple, under the open skies or ensconced in a snug tent. In the morning, you have a lot to be ready for! A bit of paddling, some white waters for fun, a pause for a snack, a swim, a nap and then a bit more paddling. You will then begin to see, ahead of you, the landing jetty, the bus awaiting and the bustle you had almost forgotten existed. There is no point trying to paddle backwards though – the cruel current will not let you escape. The only solution is to have a new attempt – you can be assured that it will be just as enjoyable even if different, as no two runs are ever the same. We will be waiting and look forward to greeting you again amongst us!
