The Discover 7 km
Dive into the heart of the Ardèche with this trip for a first experience in canoeing/kayaking. Be amazed by the lightness of the river over 7 km and pass through the majestic Pont d’Arc, a true icon of the region. From the starting point Vallon Pont d’Arc to Châmes, you have about 1.5 hours of pure paddling time. This trip is accessible to everyone.
Take your time to enjoy: a refreshing swim around the nature reserve, a picnic on the beach, or just a short break to admire the wild beauty. No rush, this is your moment. For even more flexibility, you can choose your return times when booking.
