Canoeing and kayaking on the Lot River
With its rapids and calm waters, the Lot River lends itself particularly to exploring by canoe and kayak. This is an excellent way to associate water sport with discovering a region.
One of the most pleasant ways of really getting to know the Olt country, otherwise known as the Lot Valley, is by taking the meandering rivers and streams.
The Lot River rises in Mont Lozère in the Cevennes mountains. It flows through the Aveyron département and is bordered by interesting villages in pleasant surroundings, many of which are classified historically: Espalion, Estaing, St-Côme-d’Olt, St- Eulalie-d’Olt, Entraygues, St-Geniez-d’Olt.
Canoeing and kayaking on the Tarn and Dourbie rivers
kayak on tarn river
The Tarn is one of the most beautiful rivers in France to navigate.
Stretching from the Tarn gorges upstream of Millau, through the valley leading to Albi, the crystal clear waters of the Tarn make their way through spectacular landscapes in the heart of the Grandes Causses regional park.
Interesting villages with a Southern-France flavour lie on the banks, and there are many chateaux to visit on the way.
When the water starts to flow fast, you can explore this natural environment by canoe, kayak, or raft.
You can discover the valley in large, safe, fully-inflated rafts and enjoy the pleasure of your first descent. Each member of the team is supplied with a paddle and will be taught how to steer the raft under the instructions of a qualified guide.
