This is the perfect option for a family outing with children aged 5 to 7 (who can swim),
or for anyone wishing to paddle under the Pont d’Arc while avoiding the crowds of the day.

You’ll be accompanied by a state-certified guide, who ensures everyone’s safety and shares his passion and knowledge of the region.

⚠️ The group is limited to 15 people maximum (including up to 3 children aged 5 to 7), so we strongly recommend booking early!

🗓️ Step-by-Step – Your Evening with Castor Canoë

📍 Meeting point: at Castor Canoë’s base in Vallon-Pont-d’Arc at 5:30 pm, where you can park your car.

👋 Your guide will greet you and provide all the necessary equipment.

🛶 After a brief introduction to paddling and safety, you’ll set off on a section of the river that’s only accessible to accompanied groups — so peace and quiet are guaranteed!

🌉 After safely navigating 3 small rapids, you’ll pause beneath the Pont d’Arc, where you can enjoy a swim and relaxing break.

🍹 During this moment, your guide will serve a small aperitif and share a few local stories and fun facts that reveal his love for the Ardèche.

🚐 Return is scheduled around 8:00 pm, where a vehicle will pick you up and bring you back to Castor Canoë.

🚿 Once back, you’re welcome to take a shower if you like and end the evening refreshed and relaxed.
