    Discover the Pack Eau Vive 2<\/em> : 2 days of canoeing\/kayaking on the Ard\u00e8che with a total of 36 km of descent (12 km + 24 km), without overnight camping. On the first day, enjoy a varied course with a calm first section punctuated by 3 slides, followed by rapids and the passage under the majestic Pont d’Arc. In the evening, relax in the accommodation of your choice. The next day, explore the Ard\u00e8che Gorges nature reserve over 24 km of wild and unspoiled terrain. Take your time, have a picnic, swim: a complete adventure, sporty but accessible, to fully enjoy at your own pace.<\/p>\n

    <\/i> Duration of the descent<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • 2.5\/3 hours + 4.5\/5 hours of paddling time, depending on the water level, in “beginner mode,” spread over two days.
      \nFor example: on the first day, you can do the 12 km Maxi des Minis and the next day, you can do the 24 km descent of the Ard\u00e8che Gorges, or vice versa.
      \n<\/i>Attention : the difference with the descent in 2 days (l’Aventure – 36 km with bivouac) is that you spend the night in a accomodation of your choice. This night is not included in the rate.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
