Canoe-kayak descent in the Gorges de l'Ardèche

One of the best ways to discover the Gorges de l'Ardèche is by canoeing down them. You will pass by beautiful places in the middle of nature. Your descent will be enlivened by crossings of dams, slides, natural rapids, the passage under the Pont d'Arc, swimming breaks, picnics and many more. Take the time, enjoy and get off in 2 days spending the night in the campsite for an extended nature experience. For a superb experience in the heart of nature, we recommend two canoe-kayak rental companies in the Gorges de l'Ardèche: Alpha Bateaux and River and Nature .

The Pont d'Arc

During a canoe-kayak trip or a hike in the heart of the Gorges de l'Ardèche Nature Reserve, discover the majestic Pont d'Arc. This natural arch was hollowed out by water to now stand 35 meters high. This magnificent arch marks the beginning of the Gorges de l'Ardèche Nature Reserve.
