Canoe trekking in the Ardennes

Join us for an open canoe trekking as we paddle through Lorraine and the scenic Ardennes in the north of France. The Meuse River is considered one of the oldest rivers in the world because it flows through the Ardennes massif which was formed during the Paleozoic era. This makes her at least 250 million years old.

Starting our journey on a gentle section of the river we’ll practice different strokes and techniques as we go. As we travel downstream through several picturesque little villages and France’s famous World War I battle fields the character of the river changes all along. From dense forests to endless rolling hills. The river is home to a diverse range of wildlife and there’s always the chance of spotting beavers. The sandy riverbanks are home to colonies of Sand Martins.

Adventurous days on the river will be balanced by tranquil nights in the campsites where we prepare tasty meals each evening leaving you ready for the challenges of the next day.
