Water sports and leisure activities Val-D'Oise

The Epte, a charming river that serves as a border between Île-de-France and Normandy, is from April to the end of October the place for canoeing. A delightful opportunity for a change of scenery and an immersion in nature. You can let yourself be carried along and meander to the rhythm of the water and unusual encounters, with moorhens and coypu in mind! Several routes are possible. We navigate independently, equipped with a map that allows us to make the right turns at the forks. In option, you can be accompanied by a guide of the Regional Natural reserve of French Vexin.

Inaugurated in 1895, with a surface area of 3 hectares, the beach of L'Isle-Adam is the largest river beach in France.
