    • Glisse en Grasse, wonder at the Village de l'Herbe

      In the heart of the timeless charm of the village of L'Herbe, nestled between the Chapelle de l'Herbe and the majestic Dune du Pilat, a canoe trip with Glisse en Herbe in Cap-Ferret promises to be an exceptional escape. Located near Bordeaux, this magical spot offers an enchanting starting point for those who love leisurely paddles and for those seeking thrills. Simply admiring the scenery is a magical experience in itself, building excitement even before setting off in the canoe.


      Grass sledding, canoeing and kayaking: explore at your own pace.

      Glisse en Herbe's offer of canoe and kayak trips embodies an invitation to escape and enjoy complete freedom. This leisure activity is ideal for getaways with family or friends. The canoes, available in various configurations to suit all needs, allow for exploration at your own pace.

      Grass Slide, along the water

      Glisse en Herbe goes beyond simple canoe rentals by offering "hidden gems" that reveal the secret treasures of the Arcachon Basin. Thanks to canoes certified for navigating the entire Basin, participants can access unusual sites such as Île aux Oiseaux (Bird Island), the Cabanes Tchanquées (stilted cabins), or the Mimbeau cove. The possibilities are endless: take a break for 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. All equipment, including life jackets, paddles, and dry bags, is provided, guaranteeing a safe, comfortable, and memorable experience on the waters of the Arcachon Basin. The canoes, ready to go, await on the beach, symbolizing the invitation to a peaceful adventure on the water.

    I had booked a solo waterskiing session, as I was on vacation in the area. When I arrived, I had already waited 20 minutes because I was informed there was a delay. I waited... then a woman arrived, either famous (although not to me since I didn't know who it was), a regular, or someone with more money. I obviously heard the whole conversation, since I was still sitting waiting on a rock, and she asked if she could do a session now, where it should have been my turn. The manager came over to me to say he was sorry, that there would be a bit more delay, just enough time to get her to the bay for a few trips back and forth. I laughed and said goodbye. Fame isn't a free pass, and everyone deserves to be treated equally.
