At 2 PM, meet at the leisure center located at 155 Avenue de l'Aigoual in Millau. The team will welcome you for check-in and provide you with the necessary equipment. Your personal belongings can be safely left on site. You will then set off with an instructor for a canoe or mini-raft trip, depending on your choice and the day's conditions. The trip lasts between 2.5 and 3 hours .
For the canoe trip, you'll travel 9km from Millau, gliding first on the calm waters of the Dourbie before joining the Tarn. You'll pass through Millau and enjoy a memorable arrival under the famous Millau Viaduct . If you opt for mini-rafting, head to the Dourbie Gorges . Aboard a Hot-Dog (a two-person raft), you'll navigate fun rapids surrounded by wild scenery. In both cases, a qualified instructor will be present to ensure your safety and make the experience enjoyable.
Once the activity is over, return to base to unpack and collect your belongings.

The course, accessible to those 135 cm and taller, combines via ferrata and giant zip lines, including an impressive 300-meter one.
