In a few words

What if you took a break to let nature, and the art that inhabits it, inspire you?

Two days to slow down , reconnect with what truly matters, and explore a region where unspoiled nature and vibrant culture intertwine. Open-air exhibitions, large-format photographs, artisan workshops: every turn becomes a discovery.

This micro-adventure is an immersive and accessible experience , designed for those who wish to escape in a different way, gently and away from the crowds.


The route that awaits you:

A two-day loop between La Gacilly and Île-aux-Pies , via the Glénac marshes , combining easy hiking and packrafting on two rivers. A cultural stop in La Gacilly , home of the International Photo Festival, enriches this getaway.

In the evening, a night in a tent at a family campsite by the water allows you to enjoy the peace and quiet and recharge your batteries.

The highlights

  • Suitable for beginners: no kayaking experience required!
  • Go at your own pace, there's no group to follow.
  • Go with whomever you want; there's no need to go with a group of strangers.

    Your adventure begins in La Gacilly , a Breton village renowned for its photo festival and artistic atmosphere. There you will meet our team for equipment distribution and a complete briefing (route, safety, navigation).

    Packraft in your bag, you leave La Gacilly on foot. After a 4.5 km walk (about 1.5 hours ) along forest trails, you reach the banks of the peaceful and wild Aff River. There you launch your packraft for a gentle paddle to the port of Glénac , perfect for a lunch break.


    In the afternoon, you continue to the protected site of Île-aux-Pies , where cliffs, forest, and river create a spectacular landscape. Your overnight camping trip , by the water, awaits you nearby.


    Recommended option: at the end of the day, a 20-minute loop hike leads to a remarkable viewpoint. Continuing along the GR trail, you reach the Saint-Méen chapel , before descending by packraft beneath the cliffs and peacefully returning to the campsite.
