This is a very well organised canoe and kayak rental company. Excellent timing and explanation of the river. A great day out in a beautiful setting

Agreeable staff, clockwork planning, everything was there but the water down stream (which is hardly their fault)

We had a good trip. The 23 km kayak was a bit too long for us, but we managed it. Nice to have small, natural beaches along the way: great for a stop or swim. Material was ok. 2 person kayak was more difficult to steer than the 1-pers kayak. The organisation explained everything ok, we only had to wait a short time to go back by bus.

The organisation was sadly not adapted to covid....after waiting for an extra 20 minutes after the agreed pickuptime next to the bus... Instead of this bus we had to take another, larger bus that arrived later... That bus was full and the busdriver did not bother to demand that everybody has to wear protective masks.... very frustrating!

Bonjour Johan,
L'attente où qu'elle soit, est toujours un dilemme pour une clientèle toujours plus pressée.
E cas de forte affluence, indépendante de notre volonté, nos anticipations pourtant considérées, nous avons été obligés de réagir au mieux et malgré tous nos efforts, nous constatons que ce délai supplémentaire n'est pas supportable pour certains. Veuillez nous en excuser.
Question Covid : oui, le port du masque est obligatoire dans les bus !
Nous ne savons pas quel parcours vous aviez choisi : un changement d'horaire aurait peut-être diminué votre attente !?
Merci néanmoins de votre visite et à bientôt ;-)

Hello Johan,
Waiting wherever it is, is always a dilemma for an ever more pressing clientele.
In the event of a large influx, beyond our control, our expectations however considered, we were obliged to react as best we could and despite all our efforts, we find that this additional delay is not bearable for some. We apologize.
Covid question: yes, wearing a mask is compulsory in transport!
We don't know which route you chose: a change of schedule might have reduced your expectations !?
Thank you nevertheless for your visit and see you soon ;-)
Great experience with friends
We have spend a pretty good time, the water was very good. We recommend Loulou bateaux!

For information, the water level is regulated by prefectural dams upstream with which we must adapt !!

Very clear instructions and advice - time lost
The instructions were very clear and we got wise advice to enjoy this moment when booking.
Only negative point is that they give you an hour to be on site early in the morning and then wait for many people before leaving. We had to wait for 45 minutes and could have slept much more or have more fun swimming in the Gorges.
Overall, everything went well and we had enough time to make the 24km journey.

Traduction reverso:
Les instructions étaient très claires et nous avons reçu des conseils judicieux pour profiter de ce moment lors de la réservation.
Seul point négatif est qu’ils vous donnent une heure pour être sur place tôt le matin et ensuite attendre beaucoup de gens avant de partir. On a dû attendre 45 minutes et on aurait pu dormir beaucoup plus ou s’amuser davantage à nager dans les Gorges.
Dans l’ensemble, tout s’est bien passé et nous avons eu assez de temps pour faire le trajet de 24 km.
Is it not the fact of having had enough time to complete your journey!?
N'est-il point là le fait d'avoir eu assez de temps pour effectuer votre parcours !?
