How does it works?

Meeting point at our canoe base in Le Bugue where you can park your car.

For all the upstream routes our minibus drops you off at the starting point of the chosen route then you go down the river at your own pace to our base.

Plan to arrive about 15 to 20 minutes before the desired departure time to have the time to register at the reception and choose your appropriate buoyancy aid and paddle .

For the downstream routes you start canoeing or kayaking on the river and our minibus will pick you up at the final stop at the agreed time at the reception.

Anyway, you always canoe with the flow of the river.
