  • Training in theory and practice

Meeting Point

Argentat (near Brive-la-Gaillarde)

Duration

6 Days

PLAN

We meet in Argentat and discuss the course of our tour on the first day after a comfortable breakfast. Then your guide will acquaint you with the basic techniques of canoeing. If this all works out, we load the equipment and everything we need for this one week in the canoe. The length of the daily tours will be decided according to condition, mood and spirit. At noon we make a rest and in the afternoon we stop at a campsite chosen by us. Then we build up our tents, relax a bit, cook a delicious dinner and enjoy the evening with a glass of red wine. On the last day we have to pick up our vehicles, so we will only paddle a short stage. 

 

Accommodation

Your guide will stay in a tent and will be happy to reserve a place for you on our start-camping site. The following days we will visit beautiful campsites on our way to the weekly destination. If you want to have a solid roof over your head, we will gladly assist you in finding a pension or hotel. However, you have to use your own vehicle here and ideally use a local taxi company. You'll find more information and details in the travel documents.

 

Catering

Ideally we cater as a group (food not included in the price). We can distribute the food and kitchen utensils evenly on all boats. But you can also take care of yourself, but keep in mind that you will also have to transport your food and kitchen utensils yourself. We will take large pots and cookers for group supply on the tour. We will make cooking groups at the beginning of the tour so that not everyone has to cook every day. Of course, we can also go for dinner.

  • Swimwear and shoes that may be wet (e.g. old sneakers or neoprene shoes, please do not wear sandals)

  • Depending on the temperature, you should also bring fast drying outerwear (e.g. fleece)
