Kayak Vert Pont du Gard, Canoe and kayak rental service in Collias, France
Kayak Vert Pont du Gard is a canoe and kayak rental service in Collias, a small village on the banks of the Gardon River in southern France. Trips depart from the village and follow the river through the Gardon gorges, passing directly under the Roman aqueduct.
The company was founded in 1978, making it the oldest canoe base near the Pont du Gard. Over the decades, it has grown to offer a wider range of routes and services while staying based in Collias.
For many visitors, the Gardon gorges are most naturally seen from the water, since the canyon walls make the banks hard to reach on foot. Paddling past the Pont du Gard gives a view of the Roman aqueduct that no walking trail can offer.
The rental point is near the town hall in Collias and can be reached by public transport. The service runs from April to October, and a shuttle brings paddlers back to the starting point at the end of each trip.
The fleet here counts more than 300 boats, ranging from solo kayaks to four-seat canoes. The company also delivers its electric bikes directly to guests' accommodations, making it easy to combine a river trip with a cycling tour through the nearby Uzège countryside.
