Want to improve your canoeing skills? “Destination Rivières” offers a range of technical courses tailored to all levels. Looking for adventure, nature, and moments of contemplation? Join the association for a canoe touring trip on one of the most beautiful rivers in France or Europe.

On the occasion of the Open Canoe Festival, Aurélien Rateau and Mathieu Slaghenauffi have been offering workshops for many years to help you get started or improve your canoeing skills.

Ready to take it a step further?

Join the technical courses they run on the Durance, the Drôme, the Ardèche, the Orb, the Hérault… and improve your paddling technique, river reading skills, and safety procedures.

Take part in a canoe touring adventure. From the Allier to the braided rivers of the Mediterranean basin, from the Dordogne to the Danube Delta, from the Tarn to the rivers of Lapland, Destination Rivières offers trips on calm waters as well as adventures on whitewater rivers.

The goal? To listen to the stories rivers tell us, observe the life they shelter, live in tune with nature — and share unforgettable moments of conviviality.

France Télévisions was with Destination Rivières on the Vjosa River in Albania in 2025.

There are still places available for the spring courses and the summer 2026 canoe tours!
