Canoeing or Kayaking in the Gorges de la Dourbie
Self-guided trip - From age 5 - Distance: 8 or 13 km
Sail through the Gorges de la Dourbie, past breathtaking cliffs and typical Aveyron villages, including the Moulin de Corp.
You can rent a 2-seater or 3-seater canoe (with 1 child aged 5 to 11 in the middle) or a kayak for 1 person for the day, with no time limit.
How does it work?
On arrival, you'll take a shuttle bus to the start of the descent, where you'll receive a briefing. The descent then proceeds at your own pace, ending at the nautical base.
Several routes are available:
- 8 km route : family-friendly and accessible to all.
- 13 km route: more technical, in a green and soothing environment.
You'll have the chance to stop for a swim and picnic at one of the many beaches along the river, where you'll be able to laugh, sunbathe and swim in between the sailing.

Even though we'd already done some canoeing, the 13 km course proved too difficult, with too many obstacles and rocks. We'd expected a smoother course, and forfeited after 5 km. Perhaps you should point out that this is not a calm water ride, but a descent crowned with obstacles. After all, it was a beautiful environment and the fresh, pure water was very pleasant!

We took the 13 km, the scenery was magnificent and the staff very friendly. Just one downside, on the last kilometer, too dangerous with people swimming and not paying attention to the canoes.
