Canoeing, kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding down the Tarn River from Sainte-Enimie to La Malène – Rives-Basses
Trip « Le Classique » : 13 km – 4 hours – Easy
Not too short, not too long, just enough to be a feast for the eyes.
This route, punctuated by small rapids, is a good compromise for discovering the typical villages of the Tarn Gorges.
Put down your oars, enjoy the scenery and dive into the clear waters of the river.
To see :
- The medieval village of Sainte-Enimie and the small monastery above the bridge;
- Saint-Chély-du-Tarn and its impressive resurgence;
- The 15th century Château de la Caze, converted into a hotel;
- And, the last hamlet before arrival, Hauterives, accessible only by boat, with its many terraces: imagine them cultivated!
