Morning family canoeing with Christophe Pernot

Guided descent of the Ardèche River with a state-certified instructor, “in the fresh air” as nature awakens.
Family-friendly, including children ages 3 and up!

I offer to accompany you in the morning on the 6 km mini descent from Vallon to Châmes during the high season (July-August).
This route includes the legendary passage under the natural arch of the Pont d’Arc!

I will meet you in Vallon Pont d’Arc at a partner canoe rental company near the river.

After explaining the essential rules of navigation, we will set off to discover the pleasures of the river and its rapids, with me ensuring everyone’s safety. To allow you to enjoy the descent without any difficulties, younger children will be in my boat during the rapids. We will take the time to stop for a swim under the Pont d’Arc, jump off rocks, or simply relax.
I will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the flora and fauna of our region and its geological features.
