Canoeing in the Chassezac Gorges

.CCC's favorite!With its majestic cliffs!

The opportunity to cross the complete Chassezac gorges and to follow in the footsteps of the first humans.
The end of the route and its majestic cliffs reinforce our feeling of being in an exceptional location.

It's also an opportunity to find a quiet spot for a picnic and a nap.

This less frequented section will allow you, even in peak season, to enjoy the calm and serenity that this place inspires.

How does the canoe trip work?

After making the reservation online, by phone or directly on site, you can park your vehicle for free in our car park (CCC Les Vans departure base).

Your canoe trip begins from this location.

Before setting off, a briefing video presents the course and the essential actions for navigating with complete peace of mind.

The canoe trip lasts approximately two hours without a break, at a leisurely pace. However, you can enjoy your canoes until the end of the day and take advantage of the opportunity to swim along the way. You can stop wherever and whenever you like on the river.

At the end of the route, a shuttle will take you back to the starting point.
Your car will then be waiting for you there: you can leave immediately or enjoy one last swim before hitting the road again.
