Canoe rental and bivouac in the Ardèche gorges

Canoe Rental with Bivouac in the Ardèche Gorges

Everything you need to know about booking your bivouac descent with Aigue Vive

There are two options for descending the Ardèche River with a bivouac in the heart of the gorges: a "dry bivouac descent" option and an all-inclusive bivouac option.

Canoeing the Ardèche River with a bivouac (bivouac ticket to be purchased as an additional charge)

This option is booked in two steps:

1- Booking your bivouac
You must book your overnight bivouac directly with the tourist office. To do this, Aigue Vive provides you with the dedicated booking tool offered by the tourist office. You can book at the Gaud or Gournier bivouac area, depending on availability. Once you have chosen and booked your overnight stay (several choices and options are possible), you move on to the second step.

2- Book your boat (canoe or kayak)
Book your canoe directly with us via our online booking tool, choosing the 2-day trip with bivouac.

For more information on bivouacs, you can visit the Tourist Office website: Ardèche Gorges - Pont d’Arc
