Base Nautique de Saint-Laurent-Blangy

Base Nautique de Saint-Laurent-Blangy is a water sports facility with both natural and man-made waterways designed for kayaking, rafting, and paddleboarding activities. The site features different sections tailored to various skill levels and water conditions for practice and play.

The facility opened in the early 2000s as part of regional initiatives to transform the Scarpe River into a recreational area. This project was part of a broader effort to revitalize the river for leisure activities.

Local instructors provide specialized training in traditional water sports techniques, passing knowledge to new generations of water enthusiasts.

The site rents equipment and offers instruction for beginners and experienced participants. Visitors should come prepared with water-appropriate clothing and know that safety gear is provided for all water activities.

The complex includes an artificial whitewater course with adjustable water flow that lets participants experience varying river conditions throughout the year. This feature allows practice and skill-building independent of natural water levels.
