Depending on the circuit you choose, ranging from 7 to 28 kilometres in length, and lasting from two hours to a full day, you'll cross the magnificent landscapes of the Orne Valley and some famous dams with the strength of your arms. It's refreshing, sporty and wonderfully invigorating. You can also enjoy bucolic cruises by electric boat, pedal-boat or rowing boat.

Open to groups, associations and individuals, the Pagaie Passion club offers all kinds of outings related to canoeing. Freestyle, slalom and whitewater river descent, navigation courses, water trekking, equipment rental to navigate on the site... It's the place to spend a good time with your family, whether it's for an hour of relaxation or a whole day of adventure!

Europe's largest artificial harbour is home to one of those sports where conviviality is the watchword. Whether you're a sailor or a beginner, sea kayaking offers the advantage of being able to navigate without any apprehension and enjoy the scenery. The club is also a school for paddling, eskimo rolling, ocean racing, surfing, skiing and pirogue. All instructors are state-qualified. The club also offers training for the FFCK initiator's diploma, sea option of the Normandy league.

On the Sée and Sélune rivers, the Avranche canoe club, starting from the Parisy leisure centre, offers you many trips. On site, you can hire equipment for a trip on the water, either on your own or accompanied. If you are a tourist, you can choose to learn or improve your skills, or to discover this pleasure without any fear. The club also welcomes groups, schoolchildren and holiday centres. You can also choose to go out beyond the base and sail around the Mont-Saint-Michel.

Discovering the region while doing sports, and not just any sports, is a good idea! The Club Kayak Granville-Chausey is there for that. In addition to river kayaking, practiced on the Sienne, you can navigate on the open sea, and go to the archipelago located opposite Granville! Whether you want to start practising this discipline regularly or whether you intend to offer yourself (or someone else) a baptism, this is the place to be!

Whether for competition or leisure, this benchmark club offers a variety of crossings all year round throughout Normandy: Val-de-Reuil, Beaumont, Montfort-sur-Risle or Pont-Authou... You'll also learn the art of in-line racing and slalom racing on white or calm water, if you feel like it. At the beginning of the school year, a discovery session will enable you to experience the joys of sliding and appreciate its benefits. As a family, with friends or for special occasions, it's a great idea!
