Cano Escapade

Want to try canyoning in the Dourbie gorges? At Cano Escapade, we meet you at our base in Comprégnac, from where we organize excursions into the Dourbie canyons.

Located between Aveyron and Gard, the Dourbie crosses the Grands Causses region, high limestone plateaus in the south of the Massif Central, to flow into the Tarn at Millau. Its bed offers a variety of breathtaking landscapes, protected under the Regional Natural Park located there. In the distance, you may be able to admire the Millau Viaduct, an emblematic motorway monument in the Rouergue region.

Our canyoning descents are accessible to adults and children who are comfortable in aquatic environments. Our qualified instructors will be happy to welcome families, and will adapt the difficulty and length of the route according to the experience of the group. Don’t hesitate to be curious! Guides love to share the history and secrets of their home; from the pearls of biodiversity found there to the history of the stone buildings lining the course of the Dourbie. In short, canyoning is the ideal activity to combine sporting discovery of aquatic environments, and awareness of the preservation of local fauna and flora.

Our departure site is located an hour and a half drive from our premises, near Millau; Transportation is included in the activity. We are waiting for you in the village of Comprégnac, at the Katalpa campsite, for an unforgettable adventure in the Aveyron nature! Just 15 minutes from Millau.

On vacation in Millau or the surrounding area? Don't miss the opportunity to descend the course of the Tarn by canoe! Cano Escapade welcomes you all year round to Comprégnac, near Millau, to help you discover the wonderful landscapes of the Tarn valley.

Originally a Native American boat, the Canadian canoe has been exported all over the world and today constitutes a reference boat for exploring the rivers of Occitanie. In a single-seater or two-seater, enjoy an immersive experience surrounded by nature, in the heart of the Grands Causses Regional Natural Park.

Approach the shore to admire the characteristic vegetation of Rouergue, or slide down the rapids that crisscross our route! An unforgettable activity, perfect for sharing a moment of adventure with your loved ones on a sunny afternoon.

At Cano Escapade, we are delighted to welcome your children, even the most beginners. Canoeing is done in groups to teach them paddling techniques at their own pace. Our qualified and passionate instructors will be happy to pass on their experience, and to fill the most curious with gripping anecdotes about the places and their history.

Our outings take place between Millau and Comprégnac, a route taking us through the wooded meanders of the Tarn. All departures take place from our water sports base in Comprégnac, 15 minutes from the Millau metropolitan area via departmental road 41. We look forward to seeing you for a canoe trip!

Looking for an activity to discover the course of the Tarn? Do not search anymore ! At Cano Escapade, we organize many kayak descents on the river. In the surroundings of Millau, where the river flows in meanders and some adventurous rapids, we offer you a dive into the Aveyron nature to the rhythm of your paddle.

Kayaking has come a long way, from its Inuit origins to the waterways of Rouergue. Today, aboard a modernized version of this traditional boat, you will have the chance to admire some of the most beautiful landscapes in Aveyron! By sailing on the portion of the Tarn extending between Millau and Comprégnac, you can contemplate the raw stone buildings of the village of Peyre, or the famous Millau viaduct, which crosses the Tarn several hundred meters above you.

Unlike canoeing, kayaking is done with a double paddle, and offers a slightly more sporty experience on the water. You can choose to sail solo, or share the adventure with a companion on a two-seater kayak.

The activity is open to the general public, from experienced kayakers to complete beginners and children. The length of the course can be adapted depending on your level. In addition, the trip is carried out with the accompaniment of an approved professional instructor, who will be at your disposal to teach you kayaking techniques and help you discover the secrets of the local heritage. p>
