How does a raid work?

Before you do anything else, be sure to read our FAQ: How do I prepare for canoeing down the Ardèche?

Start by visiting the Itinéraire Passion base at Vallon Pont d’Arc in the Ardèche: don’t worry about parking, you can easily park your vehicle in our free private parking lot.

Then go to reception either to make an on-site reservation, or with your online reservation voucher. From now on, we’ll take care of everything!

Once your reservation has been confirmed, and after you have familiarized yourself with the river’s landmarks and safety conditions, we will transport you to the respective landing stages for each descent. You’ll take possession of your boats, complete equipment and paddles after an initiation and a final safety briefing. You complete your route according to the conditions and times specified. At the end of your trip, we’ll take you back from the respective landing stages to our base, where you’ll be reunited with your vehicle.
