The Tarn Gorges Canyon by canoe-kayak

The Tarn, a river with crystal-clear waters, winds its way through a deep and spectacular limestone canyon, with its most famous site: “the Straits”.

They share their experience:

Very good. The organization for the return trip was a bit limited. There were more people than buses. It must be said that a storm was approaching, and everyone rushed to finish the descent, so it was very crowded. However, we returned in two groups, and those who arrived later left before us. French civility is becoming legendary! But it's really worth doing; the gorges are magnificent, and the people at canoë 2000 are very friendly and professional. I highly recommend this company. I've modified this review because, written quickly, it didn't accurately reflect the good service provided by canoë 2000

Julien FLECHON

A truly wonderful family outing in the stunning tarn Gorges. The welcome was fantastic, the staff very professional. I highly recommend canoë 2000 for a great canoe trip, made even better by the sunshine – a perfect day. Next time we'll try paddleboarding. A big thank you to this wonderful team.

Hernandez Virginie

Very welcoming and well-organized, several routes available. A very good day

Alain Morice

Beautiful place, very warm welcome

Julien D

We were surprised upon arrival to be greeted by a child under 15, who, in addition to showing us to our seats, handled the check-in and, more importantly, the payment, neglecting to mention a discount we were entitled to from a campsite. Given his young age, he could have been more polite and less arrogant. However, a big thank you and well done to the staff who handled the equipment at the start and finish, and thank you Bruno for giving us a lift. A beautiful circuit to do with family or friends, with stunning scenery, bright sunshine, and a great atmosphere. The route is from La Malène to Pas de Soucy, featuring beautiful places like the Cirque des Baumes and Le Détroit.
