FAQ – Inflatable canoe rental in the Verdon
1 – Can I navigate the Verdon river with my inflatable canoe?
It is prohibited to rent canoes to navigate the Verdon River. Therefore you do not have the right to navigate the river. The use of the canoe is exclusively reserved for navigation on the lakes.
2 – How much room is there in the canoe and how long can I use it?
The inflatable canoe has 2 seats and is available for the day. Come pick him up in the morning at our cabin and come back in the evening when your excursion is finished. This way, you will have time to enjoy your outing on the lake!
3 – Which lake can I go to to enjoy my canoe?
With your canoe you can go to the beautiful Castillon lake located 30 minutes from our cabin. Or otherwise, you can always head to the most famous Verdon lake, the Sainte Croix lake, located 1 hour from Castellane and navigate the large Verdon canyon at the Galetas bridge.
4 – What is included in my canoe rental?
Your canoe rental includes everything you need to prepare your boat and navigate in complete safety. You will therefore have with you your two-seater canoe, two paddles, an electric and manual pump, a waterproof container and life jackets. Finally, we will provide you with a manual explaining the operation of your canoe.
Where to sail on the Verdon lakes? :
Once you have picked up your boat and your equipment at our reception chalet, all you have to do is set off on an adventure to discover the Verdon lakes . We recommend two lakes in particular:
Castillon Lake, a typical mountain lake, wilder and less frequented, is the ideal place to spend the day with the family. You will find different places all around the lake where you can stop, however we have selected a few easily accessible places that you will find on the map below.
The lake of Sainte-Croix , world famous, it allows you at the Galetas bridge, to visit the end of the Verdon Grand Canyon for about 2 km and to navigate in peace between its impressive limestone cliffs. You will still have to be careful and slalom between the many pedal boats and electric boats. If you are looking for a bit of tranquility, we have made a small selection for you.
