Activité vraiment superbe. Nous avons fait le canoë sur 24km. C'est un peu physique mais super pour s'amuser tout au long du parcours et profiter le la vue et des paysage.

Mini descente de 6 km

Location de 2 canoës pour 4 adultes. 116 euros ! Un peu cher puisque c'est la nature qui fourni l'essentiel : l'eau et la rivière. En résumé, une tarification un peu "attrape touristes".
