Western Canoe is based in the medieval village of Laroque at the foot of the castle, on the banks of the river Hérault with its magnificent gorges.

Our hire centre is on a piece of land shaded by hundred-year-old chestnut trees, and has a large cool and protected car-park.

A fleet of about sixty canoes and fifteen kayaks is available on site for hire from half a day to a whole day.

Before you leave or when you return from one of our trails of 7, 8, 9, 15 or 17 kilometres, you can enjoy an ice-cream or a fruit juice on the terrace of our café. We will also be happy to prepare, if ordered in advance, breakfast, lunch or an energy-restoring teatime snack.

We also organise trips lead by instructors holding state diplomas.

Bruno, a former competitor and federal instructor, will be delighted to offer technical tips and advice to all beginners, so that they can take full and safe advantage of the beauties of this exceptional site.

We are at your disposal year-round should you require further information.
