An activity "Expériences Famille" is available here

What better way to brighten up your summer than paddling with the Pagayous? Don't worry, it's easier said than done! All you need is a ray of sunshine, a highly motivated crew, and an afternoon to spend with your family. The rest is up to the Vivonne Canoeing and Kayaking Association and its instructors. They're the famous Pagayous!

On the agenda: a delightful adventure along the Clain River, combining refreshing sensations, moments suspended in time, and essential splashes. Response in 3…2…1…

Blue Clain

It's all about organization with the Pagayous. First step: verification. Is everyone over 5 years old and able to swim? Let's go!
Step two: the choice. 4 km, 7 km, or 13 km, your ultimate escape? Let's embark on an epic adventure!
Step three: safety. While this isn't a joke, the kids are still laughing at the jokes your instructor tells for the day, who's putting on a show. Once the life jackets are fastened and everyone looks like salmon sushi, it's time to climb into the canoes.

There was a small canoe (which had already sailed)

The 13 km are off. The advantage of canoeing is that everyone has a great time. And a great paddle! Lovers of the natural, peaceful setting fully enjoy the scenery, the more daredevils savor a beautiful, sporty descent, and the curious little ones even get their own fun quiz. What everyone shares, however, is the giggles of the parents as they paddle in the same direction and go around in circles! A race later, you're on the bank for a final souvenir photo. Say Pagayou!

I'm trying the experiment!
