Footbridge over the Palue
Highlight • Other
The small, winding river is characterized by its shallow depth, making it an ideal and safe excursion destination for families. With a Class 1 current, the water is often so shallow that you can stand in the riverbed in places. Along the banks, a protected, almost tropical fauna and flora stretches out, reminiscent of mangrove landscapes and providing a habitat for numerous animals.
Due to its calm nature, the La Palue is a very popular area for canoe and kayak tours. Local providers, such as the Canoe-Kayak Club of Castets, offer guided tours and boat rentals to explore the pristine nature. The picturesque route leads downstream directly to the mouth of the Lake of Léon.
