Canoe and Kayak Rental in the Chassezac Gorges from Les Vans, Ardèche

This 7-km canoe-kayak tour on the Chassezac River is less busy than the courses on the Ardèche River, so it is a quieter way to enjoy a trip on the water without being on top of each other. Punctuated by a few rapids, the stretch of the Chassezac River to be discovered on this adventure is accessible from the age of 7, provided you can swim and put your head under water. This part of the river runs between the Pont de Fer in Les Vans and the Pont de la Serre de la Tuillières in Berrias-et-Casteljau, in the superb setting offered not only by the Chassezac gorges, but also the Païolive wood. Get ready to enjoy an incredible tour, for as long as you like!

Renting a canoe or kayak on the Chassezac from Les Vans will give you at least 2 hours down the river, with the option of stopping whenever you like for a swim or a picnic. Between the impressive cliffs that form the gorges and the forest, you will navigate the river in complete autonomy in a natural setting unique to the Ardèche, alone in your kayak, or in pairs in your canoe, or even in groups of 3 accompanied by a child aged between 7 and 10. All the equipment you need for your experience will be provided (kayak or canoe, paddle, waterproof canister and life jacket), as will a shuttle transfer to take you back to the base once you have finished canoeing down the Chassezac River.

With no specific time limit, this canoe-kayak rental in the Ardèche on the Chassezac River is perfect if you are looking for a rather free and easy activity. Whether you are on your own, a couple, a family, with friends or your 4-legged friend, you will have an unforgettable time in the heart of nature, just 30 minutes from Vallon-Pont-d'Arc!
