Drier and drier summers may result in the departure points being lower down the valley. You may also have to get out and pull your kayak for a few metres from time to time. In the case of a prolonged drought this activity may not be possible.
Let the lavender fields and the vineyards of the Clairette de Die scroll past you on one of the last wild rivers of Europe, the Drôme – with no artificial impediment to disturb its turquoise waters! From its challenging tributaries to its more docile valley course, kayaking is practicable for children from 6 upwards (as long as they can swim). The trips downstream range from a half day to a two day expedition. This wild water activity takes place between April and October, depending on water levels, from Pont de Quart, Die, Sainte-Croix or Pontaix. Our kayak rental providers will tell you about the basic techniques and supply all the necessary equipment. It’s then up to you to set off down river and meet up with your return transport at the appointed place.
