Sports and leisure activities Angoulême

For paddling enthusiasts, experienced sportsmen and quiet explorers, this is the ideal club. Rentals are available by the hour, by the day or for two- to four-day trips/bivouacs. The usual boating area stretches from the base to the Saint-Yrieix lake, a 4 km stretch of waterways where you can discover the flora and fauna of the Charente and Trouve rivers. Last but not least, you can try your hand at stand-up paddling and discover the banks of the river like a tightrope walker. Initiations are supervised by federal instructors.

Take a cruise on La Reine Margot. On the Charente River from Angoulême, La Reine Margot offers summer theme cruises or lunch and dinner cruises. Departing from the port of l'Houmeau, you'll discover a route through the locks at the gateway to the city, with unusual views of the city (including the Nil district and the comic strip museum) and a unique approach to the biodiversity of the wild banks of the Charente. Cruises last from 1h30 to 5h (with meals on board).
