Good starting point for kanoe. Pleasant and helpful staff Small beach...

David Dumont

Really very nice ! Very pleasant staff, superb landscapes, many rapids... we are not bored ! I advise you the descent on 2 days with the night in bivouac, it's totally different ! To discover absolutely, if you like the canoe, you will appreciate! Special mention to the charming young man who came to pick us up beyond the place where we had to stop for the night...

Ninie Pole

Great run as a family with our 8 and 11 year olds. We did the 10km course. A few rapids, lots of laughs and adrenaline. To do again without hesitation. A big thank you to the team

Aurélie Duriez

Course of 15 km very nice many places to rest and eat and take a dip, young and welcoming team, just lacked a little water at two or three passages but that can not be controlled.
