Canoe Evasion
About
Canoë Evasion invites you to glide through the spectacular limestone gorges of the Sorgue River, where crystal‑clear waters meet dramatic rock formations. Departing from the historic base in Fontaine de Vaucluse, you’ll be equipped with a life‑veste, a sealed water bottle, and a single‑handed paddle, ready to explore the river’s natural beauty. The guided briefing covers safety, route highlights, and environmental respect, ensuring a memorable adventure for all ages. After the descent, a bus transports guests back across the scenic Vaucluse and Luberon mountains, often with music or singing for an extra touch of joy. In addition to the main water activity, Canoë Evasion offers on‑site refreshments at the shaded Paillote terrace, free parking, dedicated restrooms, and a dedicated team‑building program for corporate groups. All guests can enjoy a leisurely stop at Partage des Éaux, a picturesque meadow perfect for a short rest or a picnic before the final stretch to L'Isle sur la Sorgue. Open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. by reservation, the experience typically lasts about two hours, making it an ideal short escape for families, adventure enthusiasts, or corporate teams seeking an unforgettable outdoor challenge.
