Our team welcomes you and gives you a full briefing on the chosen route.
You will then receive your equipment and get ready.
Once equipped, our driver will take you to the boarding point.
The descent is unaccompanied.
On arrival, our minibus picks you up at the time specified when you registered, and takes you back to base.

Equipment required :
– Suitable sportswear (shorts, t-shirt, swimsuit, closed-toe shoes).

Remember to protect yourself from the sun (sun cream, cap/hat, sunglasses).
If the weather is poor, bring a windbreaker / Kway and a change of warm, dry clothes.
To avoid losing your glasses, don’t forget to equip yourself with lanyards.
Bring a drink and a picnic if you want to spend a long time on the river.

Storing your equipment :
– We supply watertight cans for storing personal equipment.
We can’t guarantee that they are completely watertight, as this depends on how they are closed.
Consequently, care must be taken with water-sensitive equipment.
For added safety, don’t hesitate to take extra protection (small plastic bags, waterproof bags, etc.).

You will also find on our base :

– A private parking lot reserved for our customers
– Sanitary facilities
– Picnic table
– A small store (snacks – canoeing equipment…)
