Like a Desman in the water

Along the way, our explorers for a day discover pictograms (previously drawn with chalk) along a six-stage route, from embarkation to disembarkation. They'll be on the lookout for signs of the Desman, as well as other aquatic and semi-aquatic animals. Perhaps you'll be lucky enough to spot an otter, a crayfish or a kingfisher.

As well as providing a wealth of information on the Pyrenean Desman, its habitat and way of life, the educational kit and the course as a whole help to raise awareness of the water cycle, the preservation of natural environments and the extraordinary richness of a river.

Once a sport, rafting is now a way of getting around. A quiet, environmentally-friendly way to observe nature and the river.

Personal equipment to bring: swimsuit, pair of tennis shoes (will get wet), water bottle, picnic, lanyard for eyeglass wearers

The eco-gesture, sun creams:

Rafting is an outdoor activity that takes place in a natural environment. Most common sunscreens are harmful to the river's flora and fauna, as well as the water on which we travel. Our wetsuits protect your entire body, with the exception of your arms and neckline. You'll also have a helmet on your head. We strongly suggest that you wear long-sleeved lycra if you're really sensitive to the sun. Our natural environment and our team thank you in advance!

Meeting time: 10:30 a.m. or full day, or 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon

Good to know: it's essential to know how to swim!
