The classic Ardèche river descent completed over two days by canoe with overnight riverside bivouac.
THE HOLIDAY
Enjoy beautiful scenery and the thrill of navigating the rapids on the River Ardèche. However, the highlight of this holiday is the overnight bivouac (or ‘bivi’) at a designated riverside site. Nothing adds to the experience of paddling through the Ardèche better than sleeping under the stars in the middle of the nature reserve – perfect for adventurous families!
As well as completing the Ardèche descent you will have two full days of multi activities at our purpose-built centre and a free day to relax and discover the stunning local area.
LOU VALAGRAN
Set in an idyllic riverside location, our small, friendly centre has its own private beach and is bordered by vineyards and the beautiful River Cèze. Facilities include a central recreation area with table tennis and an on-site bar and shop.
The accommodation provides basic but comfortable ‘cabin’ style camping in small, wooden, one room cabins. There are two types of cabin – a ‘Family Cabin’ for up to 4 people, and ‘Adult and Child cabins’ for 2 adults with up to 4 children nearby in their own cabin. Communal fridge facilities and hot/cold drinks are provided at points near the cabins. There are also traditional campsite-style toilets and bathroom/shower blocks close by.
Overnight bivi – Located on the banks of the river, on-site facilities include toilets, showers, outdoor cooking areas and drinking water. Please bring your own sleeping bags.
