With a rating of 4.5/5 based on 330 Google reviews and 4.7/5 on TripAdvisor, it's the leading canoeing center in South Gironde.

From one-hour to full-day walks along the Ciron River

The routes departing from the Bommes base cater to all tastes and skill levels. Enjoy a one-hour paddle for a gentle introduction, a half-day trip, or a full-day descent for those who want to take their time. A detailed navigation map is provided at the start to help you choose your route according to your abilities. The Ciron is classified as a cool river (one of the coolest in the department during the summer), making the descent particularly enjoyable in the heat of summer — Google reviews regularly mention clear water where trout can be seen, a shaded stretch of river, and unspoiled natural surroundings. Open 7 days a week from 9 am to 6 pm, from Easter to October.
