We organize the descent of the Ardèche in a canoe. Come to the reception to make an inscription and we will explain you how it works.

Our colleagues come to pick you up in front of the reception; they bring the lifejackets and thewaterproofed containers with them. They will bring you to your canoe and after the descent they bring you back to our campsite.
