The 30 km canoe trip down the Ardèche is undoubtedly one of the most sporty of our packages! Even if the overall difficulty is accessible to most, you’ll still need to be prepared for a fairly intense physical effort to reach the landing stage at Sauze and cover almost the entire descent of the Ardèche in a single day (see map).
