Departure is directly from the Camping des Tunnels, in an exceptional natural setting, in the heart of the classified Pont d’Arc site.
This route offers a nice balance between relaxation and discovery. From the first meters, you enjoy emblematic landscapes, between limestone cliffs, natural beaches and calm waters. Two highlights punctuate the descent: the passage of the Charlemagne rapids, fun and accessible, then the passage under the majestic Pont d’Arc, the natural arch emblematic of Ardèche.
Navigation continues peacefully to Châmes (Stop 7), the endpoint of the route.
The 7 km mini descent takes approximately 2 hours, but thanks to departures and returns at any time, you are free to take your time, make swimming breaks or simply enjoy the calm of the river.
This route is particularly popular with families, beginners and campers wishing to experience complete canoe activities without time constraints.
