Canoeing on the Ardeche River, Vallon Pont d'Arc
Vallon-Pont-d'Arc is a village in southern France’s Ardèche department. It’s a gateway to the Ardèche Gorges, where the Ardèche River has carved a dramatic canyon through a limestone plateau.
The river lends itself to all levels of canoeing and kayaking and offers fabulous views for those enjoying a short of longer trek along the river.
The village is named after the Pont d’Arc, a huge, natural rock arch which is hugely popular for canoeists.
Canoes Service offers daily treks of 7km, 13km, 24km and multi-day treks of 30km, 37km and 56km.
The following equipment is provided;
Boats, well suited to the river, are equipped with two jackets (buoyancy aid) and paddles.
Waterproof container provided, 55 liters if well used (equivalent to a big bag of hiking):
1 container for one day descent.
2 containers for 2 days trip.
