Presentation

You dreamed of a canoe weekend in Ardèche: we did it!
With this formula, you travel the 32km of the Ardèche gorges without time constraints and with a night of disconnection in the heart of nature!
The Pont d´Arc, the nature reserve and its rapids, its caves, its high cliffs, … During two days, you are in total immersion in the Ardèche nature. You will discover nature waking up and falling asleep. Like real adventurers, you sleep in a tent or under the stars. On this bivouac in Ardèche, you will enjoy a friendly and timeless moment.
The next day, you are filled with positive energies as you resume navigation until the end of your journey.

The start of this 2-day descent of the Ardèche takes place between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. from our base in Vallon Pont d’Arc.

After a first day enjoying the magnificent nature reserve of the Gorges de l’Ardèche, you spend the night in one of the two bivouac areas:

  • Gaud (located 1/3 of the way)
  • Gournier (located halfway).

The next day, return to your canoes to continue this unique adventure in the heart of nature.

WARNING ! The night in a bivouac is not included in the canoe reservation!

Before making any reservation on La Vernède, you must reserve your overnight bivouac with the reservation plateform.

During these two days of adventure, you will be in total autonomy. So make sure you have enough food and water for the entire stay.

For your bivouac in Ardèche, also plan sleeping equipment (tent and sleeping bag). You have the possibility of sleeping in collective tents (Marabout).

On the bivouac areas, you will find toilets, showers and barbecues (charcoal provided).
