    • Glisse en Herbe, wonder at the Village de l’Herbe

      At the heart of the timeless charm of the village of l'Herbe, between the Chapelle de l'Herbe and the majestic Dune du Pilat, the canoe adventure with Glisse en Herbe in Cap-Ferret promises to be an exceptional escape. Located near Bordeaux, this magical place offers an enchanting starting point for lovers of quiet walks along the water and for those looking for thrills. Just contemplating the landscape is already a magical experience, heightening the excitement even before setting off in the canoe.

      Grass Sliding, Canoeing, exploring at your own pace

      Glisse en Herbe's proposal to embark on a canoe-kayak trip embodies an invitation to escape in complete freedom. This leisure activity is ideal for getaways with family or friends. The canoes, available in different configurations to suit all needs, allow exploration at your own pace. Whether for an hour, half a day, a day, or even a whole week, everyone can personalize their canoeing experience according to their desires, thus discovering the hidden gems of the Arcachon Basin.

      Sliding on grass, along the water

      Glisse en Herbe goes beyond simple canoe rental by offering “good deals” that reveal the secret treasures of the Arcachon Basin. Thanks to canoes approved to navigate the entire extent of the Basin, participants can access unusual sites such as Île aux Oiseaux, Cabanes Tchanquées, or the Mimbeau conche. The possibilities are endless: take a break to have a picnic, admire the sunset over the water, or simply let yourself be carried away by the tranquility of the place. Departure at both high and low tide offers optimal flexibility. Complete equipment, including vests, paddles and waterproof containers, is provided, guaranteeing a safe, comfortable and memorable experience on the waters of the Arcachon Bay. The canoes, ready to leave, wait on the beach, symbolizing the invitation to a peaceful adventure on the water.
