pont d'arc canoe Ardèche
Why choose a family-run business for your canoe trip down the Ardèche?
Planning your next weekend getaway or summer vacation and dreaming of tackling the famous Pont d'Arc or paddling through the Nature Reserve? Canoeing in the Ardèche is the perfect activity. But to ensure your adventure remains an unforgettable experience, choosing the right rental company makes all the difference.
At Alain Bateaux , based in Salavas (a stone's throw from Vallon-Pont-d'Arc), we have made a strong choice: to remain a family-run business on a human scale . Far from tourist traps, we prioritize quality over quantity.
The expertise of a river guide at your service
Because safety and comfort on the water cannot be improvised, our team is led by a certified river guide . Whether you choose the 6km mini-descent for families, the 24km route or the legendary 32km circuit in the Ardèche Gorges , you will benefit from a complete and personalized technical briefing before departure. Amélie, Karine, Fred and the whole team take the time to explain the routes, how to manage the rapids and the best secret spots for swimming or picnicking in complete serenity.
A unique "cocooning" welcome in Salavas
Our base at La Bouchette in Salavas offers free private parking and a superb shaded terrace by the water, perfect for enjoying a drink or a snack after (or even during!) your trip. That's the Alain Bateaux spirit: friendly support from start to finish, a welcoming atmosphere, and a genuine ability to adapt so you can set off with complete peace of mind.
Weekends in June and the peak summer season fill up very quickly. To avoid waiting and guarantee the best departure times, book in advance!
