Created in 1865, this club already had a semi-hull in advance, becoming the first bisontin sports club. The Canoe-kayak section, created in the 1960 s, is much younger and has been focused on the practice of online racing.

School of paddle, online races, dragon boats, a club of big arms that quickly climbed up to the Olympic Games, as well as every season, club athletes are selected as team of France.
