    Club offering canoe trips under the Pont du Diable. Very friendly staff — we were welcomed by a young woman who explained everything perfectly. Great route through the gorges and into wild nature, with herons and other birds as a bonus.

    We were the only ones for a 9:15 am Sunday departure in the middle of July! Perfect — we headed straight to the starting point at the Pont du Diable, only 10–15 minutes away. It was great!! Thank you ✌️
