Join us for beautiful and tranquil Inn-to-Inn Guided Canoe tours to the south of France, the Belgium Ardennes the South-East of England and the rivers of Vermont in New England USA.

 

Our aim is to provide easy canoeing so these tours are not for those seeking difficult white-water rapids or for those wishing to canoe long-distances. We paddle easy rivers through beautiful country-side suitable for families and those of a certain age who still remain active. Our Ardeche and Allier tours do have some small rapids which are short and sweet and can be easily viewed, assessed and portaged if necessary.

 

We canoe in the Loire, Perigord, Dordogne, Lot, Ardeche, Allier and Tarn regions of France, the Belgium Ardennes, a tour through Kent, the Garden of England and a New England/Vermont tour.

 

From 2017 we have had a Yoga & Canoe Retreat to the Lot region in France.

 

Each tour is fully described with a complete daily schedule and descriptions of our Inns or B&Bs. We also have brochures of all our tours which you can download.

 

All our tours are fully guided. You will be accompanied on the river and trail by an experienced guide who knows the area and the rivers well. The second guide will accompany us in the background by driving our vehicle between lodgings and will be transferring our luggage, meeting us for lunch and generally being available as and when required.

 

It should be noted that we will walk to the river-bank when possible and aim to use our minibus as little as possible - although it will always be available. Avid walkers may like to join me for morning walks before the canoeing day starts and, on our longer tours we have days dedicated to walking.

 

We stay in small and comfortable local Hotels, Chambre D'Hotes and B&Bs. However we have just introduced single-centre and self-catering options for some of our tours. If you are interested they please mention it in your email and we can discuss arrangements & prices.

 

The tour prices include all transfers, canoe hire (and equipment), accommodation (with breakfasts) all lunches and all evening meals.

 

Small tours have a maximum group size of 9 people. That is 7 guests and 2 guides. Medium groups of up to 17 consist of 14 guests and 3 guides (2 of which are on the river). Larger groups can be accommodated by arrangement.
