Nature escape, children love it

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…

It's all about organization with Pagayous. First step: the check. Is everyone over 5 years old and able to swim? Let's go! Second step: the choice. 4 km, 7 km, or 13 km, your grand escape? Off we go for an XXL adventure! Third step: safety. While we don't joke around with this, the kids are in stitches at the jokes of your instructor for the day, who puts on quite a show. Once the life jackets are fastened and everyone looks like a salmon sushi roll, 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!
