We are attentive and demanding in terms of the quality of the equipment we offer you.

High-quality equipment, maintained, checked and renewed regularly.

We favour short supply chains by choosing local suppliers and equipment manufactured mainly in France:

  • Canoes and Kayaks manufactured by Rotomod in Ardèche (Canoë France actively participates in the development of professional models).
  • Boats adapted for navigation on the Chassezac river.
  • Maintenance and repair in the CCC workshop to keep equipment in perfect working order for a long time.

Life jackets: (Exclusive model created for Canoë France, manufactured in the Lot region by MACK) adapted to your size and body shape:

  • Specifically designed for children.
  • Washed and disinfected after each use.
  • Exclusive Canoë France paddles made in Charente by Egalis using recycled aluminium.

Our transport vehicles are perfectly maintained and cleaned for your comfort.
More than 50% of our vehicles are Euro 6, Crit'air 1, thus reducing our carbon footprint.

Eco-responsible with Canoe France

With members of the "Canoe France" group (see the charter), we reflect on and implement solutions each year to transform our practices and minimize the impact of our activity:

  • Optimizing our shuttle services and streamlining transport

  • Recycle the equipment

    • Selling our equipment for a second life
    • Recovering the foam from life jackets

    “Canoë France” is a sponsor of the Fab Unit with the aim of integrating our out-of-service canoes into a recycling stream.

  • Participate in the riverbank clean-up operations each year

  • Information on the fauna and flora which you can encounter in the Chassezac Gorges and the Bois de Païolive (sign at the start of the descent, organization of descents accompanied by river guides)

    • A fresh water fountain is available, allowing you to use and refill your reusable water bottle instead of a plastic bottle.
    • "Canoe France" application (see here) which allows you to discover the natural and historical heritage during your descent with explanations and anecdotes.
