Loulou Bateaux, the partner for your holiday in Ardèche

Based in Vallon-Pont-d’Arc for more than 40 years, Loulou Bateaux offers a range of sports activities in Ardèche: a canoe trip down the Ardèche Gorges, canyoning, potholing, rock climbing, mountain biking, via ferrata and a giant abseiling site in the heart of the Ardèche Gorges.

The Ardèche Gorges by canoe

A canoe trip along the Ardèche is a must with family or friends, whether for a half-day, a full-day or over two days for the more adventurous.
Beginners will be able to enjoy the landscape in our unsinkable and self-bailing canoes (single or two-seaters), which are easy to use and perfectly suited to recreational canoeing.
People wishing to enjoy traditional canoeing may use an open canoe with a single paddle and dog owners will appreciate the large volume offered by these vessels.
