Based in the Ardèche Gorges near Vallon Pont d’Arc, the “Petite Mer” Canoe and Kayak centre offers visitors canoe and kayak rental.

With our own private and shaded riverside parking area, you are invited to explore our beautiful river – with or without a guide.

Guided descents are led by Ugo, our qualified river guide and instructor and are suitable for adults and children (4 years +). With more than 15 years experience, Ugo is also a certified guide for the Gorges de l’Ardeche nature reserve. His experience and expertise will help reveal the secrets of the magnificent Ardèche gorges with their caves, springs, jumping rocks and, of course their flora and fauna, from a new perspective.

A warm welcome awaits you and our team will be happy to provide basic training in preparation for your adventure through our magnificent gorges.
