Canoeing at the Pont du Gard, by le bureau des moniteurs du Gard
Discover Canoe Kayak In The Gorges Du Gardon
Located north of Nîmes in the Gard, the Gorges du Gardon are a regional nature reserve which promises you a spectacular landscape during your canoe descent. Impossible to miss the magic they offer you: the view of the scrubland, the smells of holm oak and junipers, the sound of cicadas will be there. Raise your nose, you may have the opportunity to see the Bonneli's eagle flying above your boat. Hush, no noise, because in the reeds live families of beavers: the mascots of the Gorges du Gardon.
KAYAK CANOE DESCENT FOR ALL: ENJOY THIS OUTSTANDING SETTING TOGETHER!
The Bureau des Moniteurs du Gard offers family descents without difficulty. Only the courses starting from Russan have descents for the most athletic. The conditions for participating in a course are simple: be at least 6 years old and know how to swim.
THE MAIN STAGES OF YOUR DESCENT:
-Take the start, with your feet in the emerald waters of the Gardon, from the medieval village of Collias.
-A little further down, a few paddle strokes away, stop to swim in the clear, fresh water of the river.
-Then go explore the river to the Pont du Gard site.
-The Roman aqueduct imposes itself in front of you to offer you a spectacle that you are not ready to forget!
Take the time to observe it and take a break on its river beaches.
-Quietly, you will let yourself be carried by the Gardon to the pier located 30 minutes below, in Remoulins.
-The shuttle from the Bureau des Moniteurs du Gard will be waiting for you there to take you back to the starting point.
