Loulou Bateaux

About

Loulou Bateaux invites you to explore the dramatic Ardèche River from the village of Vallon‑Pont‑d’Arc, offering a full range of canoeing adventures that suit all levels of experience. From the gentle 5‑km “Mini Toboggans” – ideal for families and solo paddlers seeking a relaxed outing with scenic toboggans – to the exhilarating 32‑km “Intégrale” that takes you under the iconic Pont d’Arc and through the rugged gorges, every route is guided by expert staff, provided with self‑bailing canoes, life‑vests and comprehensive safety briefings. All trips are open to anyone aged 7 years and older who can swim at least 25 m; those travelling with pets must equip their dogs with a life‑vest (available for a small fee). The company’s online booking system, complete with real‑time water‑level alerts and a free “Canoë Malin” mobile app, lets you choose the best days and times for your adventure. Whether you paddle solo, with a small group, or as part of a family, Loulou Bateaux offers an unforgettable blend of natural beauty, physical challenge and cultural heritage that is best enjoyed in the spring or autumn when crowds are smaller and the river flow is ideal for both beginners and seasoned paddlers.
