Gorges du Tarn: Stand-Up Paddle Experience

Discover the Gorges du Tarn on a stand-up paddleboard. Paddle along the Tarn River, take in the surrounding cliffs, and enjoy a fun and easy outdoor activity suitable for beginners.
See the Gorges du Tarn from the water on a 2-hour stand up paddle experience designed to be fun, scenic, and easy to learn. Glide along the Tarn River with impressive limestone cliffs rising around you, and enjoy a calm outdoor activity that suits first-timers as well as those who want a relaxed adventure.

Meet at Rue de la Combe and get equipped with your stand-up paddle board, paddle, life jacket, and a waterproof bag or container for small essentials. After a short introduction to basic technique and safety, head onto the river and start paddling at your own pace. The route follows the Tarn through the heart of the gorge, letting you appreciate the landscapes, clear water, and the feeling of being immersed in nature.

Choose the departure time that fits your day (morning or afternoon). As you explore, keep an eye out for local wildlife—there may even be a chance to spot beavers in their natural habitat. With small groups and a focus on safety, this experience is a great way to discover one of southern France’s most beautiful river canyons.

Finish back near the starting point with great memories, fresh air, and a new view of the Gorges du Tarn—best enjoyed with a T-shirt and cap instead of sunscreen to help protect the environment.
