Paddle the Gorges de l'Ardèche!
The following options are available from April until the end of June and during September, perfect if you fancy a short break away from it all, are just passing through or near the area or if you have already arranged a holiday in the Ardèche but want to reserve your trip down the river. Trips for July and August need to be booked very early to check availability of accommodation. Camping options are much harder to get during the peak months as they are often booked out a year in advance!- For more information regarding the Bivouac (overnight camp in the Gorge) click the link.

Although not required, we do suggest that you have an English guide who knows the river like the back of his hand to ensure that you get the most from your trip down the river. The guide will help to ensure your safety whilst navigating the numerous rapids as well as highlighting points of interest during your descent. Each instructor can take up to 8 people. If your group is larger than that you will require a second guide.
Once the form has been received you will be contacted by e-mail and/or telephone to confirm the details of your booking. You will then be sent a link which will take you to a personally created booking page on the website where payment can be made.
