Water sports and leisure activities Aube

The harbour master's office welcomes all sailors wishing to sail on the Orient Lake. It is also a tourist information point on the regional site, ideal for discovering all the activities and opportunities offered by the region. The Maison des lacs houses a club house, an exhibition room on the large lakes of the Seine (IIBRBS), and the harbour master's office for the information and reception of boaters.

Located opposite the Prés de Lyon park, this aquatic complex is a real place of leisure and aquatic activities for all ages and all tastes. Inside this space, open to the outside by huge windows, there are four pools: a sports pool, a paddling pool, a fun pool (with bubble bench, massaging jets and a counter-current river), and finally a learning pool. The staff is friendly, has a sense of humour and is thorough. As for the showers, they are hot as we like them!

For a descent from Ource to canoe it is here that you need to address. After making an appointment, departures are at the Ource Bridge at 10 am, 11 am, 13 pm or 14 pm. To start the safety instructions, then we're working with a jacket, we put the business in a tight bidon, and we're going to go for a 12-kilometre walk towards Essoyes that is the goal. In the light of the waves we admire the landscape, vineyards, old mills and many other things.

Canoe for beginners, kayak for the confirmed ones, is on the river with a vest and with an attendant. Before you leave, we agreed on a course because many excursions are possible here. Indeed, we sail on the Seine and its small arms. The atmosphere is relaxing and prices vary depending on the circuit, counting € 10 for a one hour walk. On the road you discover the countryside from another angle, to discover!

Do you like canoeing and champagne? So you will love this walk! The concept is simple: you take a guided tour on the Seine with monitors from the Canoe House in Troyes and finish with a discovery and tasting of the champagnes of the house Jean Josselin.

Tariff: about 25 € per person.

Duration: the ride on the Seine is about 1 h 30. For the tasting it is at the end of the walk of course!

Difficulty: easy

Departure: Meet on the banks of the Seine in Courteron, usually in the morning (schedule to be defined with the house of the Canoë de Troyes).

The lake of the Orient Forest has been the playground of most of the Trojans. An undeniable asset for Troyes, it is located about 25 minutes away and city dwellers don't have to travel far to enjoy this 2,500-hectare natural setting, which offers dykes, beaches and windsurfing. From March to November, this lake (the largest and oldest of the three lakes on the site), nestled in the heart of the beautiful Orient Forest, is transformed into a real place of life dedicated to swimming and water sports. You will also discover a luxuriant fauna.

On the beach of Géraudot, Captain François welcomes you with a smile and proposes to take a boat tour (30 minutes or 1 hour) on the magnifque lake of the east forest. It also rents two canoe and boats (half day or full day). A wonderful site to discover on the water to take full view. And now, to you row!
