Canoe In the Languedoc region, 25 min from MONTPELLIER, at the foot of the CEVENNES Mountains. We offer a canoeing trip along a 12 km stretch of the Hérault River. This route is very wild and unspoiled as from start to finish there are no roads or villages; no carrying your canoe either and no dams to cross. The river water is always high thanks to its tributaries la Vis and l’Arre which are fed by water from the Cévennes Mountains and the Larzac plateau. The rapids are easy and accessible to all, including children who can swim accompanied by their parents, for 6 yrs olds and over for the classic descent and for 4 yr olds and over for the trip around the cliffs (in calm water). The water is of excellent quality (inspected by the local health authority) and its temperature is higher than that of the sea (26° in summer).
