Activity description

Canoe the waters of the Gorges du Tarn from the village of Les Vignes!

In the heart of a canyon just 30 metres wide and topped by cliffs over 100 metres high, you can canoe down the gorges du Tarn, a magnificent UNESCO World Heritage site. Offering a wide variety of routes through different villages in the region (Saint-Chély-du-Tarn, La Malène, Le Rozier, La Sablière, etc.), this canoeing and kayaking activity on the river Tarn will allow you to discover sublime landscapes while having plenty of adventure!

After meeting the team at the water base in the village of Les Vignes, you will either head straight for the river, or take the shuttle bus to the starting point of your chosen course. A few slides will punctuate your canoe-kayak descent through the Tarn gorges, delighting young and old alike, who will enjoy unforgettable moments of sharing throughout the experience!

Whether it is for half a day or a whole day, don't miss out on canoeing down the gorges of the Tarn to have fun while admiring the magnificent scenery of the region, between Lozère and Aveyron!
