How to find us ?

F.A.Q. for a canoe trip:

Is the canoeing activity accessible to all ?

Yes, as long as you are able to swim more than 25 meters without any assistance and immerse yourself. If the parents are beginners we recommend a “MINI trip”. Children must be at least 6 years old and be able to swim without assistance, even if accompanied by an adult.
Even if courses are accessible to beginners, we advise you to start on a 9 km course at first to take your marks with the activity.
We provide you with a lifejacket to wear throughout the course, it is mandatory.
For people with reduced mobility, the activity is accessible to reckless people with an aptitude for sports activities. The person must be able to swim alone and return to the shore in case the boat turns around. Caution, we are in a natural environment, the points of embarkation and disembarkation can be accidental and make access difficult.

For beginners, which course(s) do you recommend ?

The «Minis» courses of 9 km in class 1 (Vayrac-Gluges or Saint-Sozy-Pinsac) are the shortest, so they are the most suitable for younger people or for people who wish to combine several activities in the same day.
The 9 km course in class 2 (Monceaux-Brivezac) is not more complicated, the water is a little brighter and cooler since it comes out of the dams upstream.
The 18 km «Classic» courses in class 1 (Vayrac-Saint-Sozy or Saint-Sozy-Souillac) are not technically more difficult than those of 1h30 but they are simply longer.

Can we bring our dog ?

It all depends on whether your companion is more of an otter type or hates water!
You’re the only one who knows, but it’s true that if he is not used to this kind of activity, boarding can stress your pet, and it is not impossible for you to turn around during the descent. Beware, too, of his resistance to heat, which can sometimes be high.
If you want to board with your companion, your dog can occupy the middle seat in a dedicated canoe. Please let us know when you book. You’ll be charged €5 per dog.
Please note
You will be asked to keep your dog on a leash at the leisure centers and on the bus.
You must remove your dog’s leash and harness on the boat.
Your dog must be sociable to be able to board the bus with other people and potentially other dogs.
Dog life jackets are not provided.

Is the reservation mandatory ?

The reservation for a day or half-day trip is not mandatory, but strongly recommended in high season. The availability of equipment cannot be guaranteed to people without a reservation, especially on sunny days!
For multi-day touring tours, the reservation is mandatory in order to block the equipment and reserve the seats on the bus, via the booking platform.

How does the shuttle work ?

The shuttle is part of your service.
If you plan to leave your vehicle at the point of arrival, the shuttle will pick you up in the morning (ask about available times) at the parking point. Booking required.
If you choose to leave your car at the starting point, the shuttle will pick you up at the end of the ride. The time chosen will be noted on your rental agreement.

Can we park on the spot ?

Large free car parks are at your disposal to allow you to leave your vehicle at the different bases. These parking lots are private but not supervised.

How to dress up ?

In summer, a bathing suit, shorts, T-shirt and caps are enough.
In the spring and fall, you have to have a windbreaker, warm clothes to put on during stops. Provide dry clothing to change on arrival.
In all cases, the wearing of closed shoes such as water shoes or sneakers is necessary to walk in the water. Glasses should ideally be strapped with a cord.
Don’t take any valuables you don’t need and risk losing in the river.

Can we take breaks during the descent ?

Canoeing is 100% fun, so take your time! Take a break! Go down at your own pace, swimming, ricocheting and picnicking on the pebble beaches… keeping an eye on the shuttle schedule. The time of your bus is noted on your contract, so plan to arrive 15 minutes before the chosen time.

Can we bring a picnic for our canoe day ?

Of course, you can bring your picnic and take a break along the way wherever you want. Don’t forget to take water to hydrate yourself.
Nature is beautiful, let’s respect it. Bring back your waste…
