Canoe and kayak equipment at 7 Rives: safety and comfort on the Vézère river

Before booking your descent, you might be wondering: what’s included in the rental? At Les 7 Rives, we do things right. Here’s a complete breakdown of our equipment and what we provide.

Safety equipment included

All safety equipment is provided and regularly checked:

  • Approved personal flotation devices (PFDs) – mandatory for everyone
  • Single and double paddles
  • Waterproof containers for your personal belongings

Canoe or kayak: how to choose?

Our team is here to guide you, but here’s a general overview:

  • For families of four: the 4-person canoe is perfect.
  • For solo adventurers: the single kayak.
  • For romantic couples: the double canoe (you’re close and can talk).
  • For groups of two who want to go fast: the double kayak.
  • For fun and balance: stand-up paddleboarding.

The quality of our equipment

We are members of the French National Federation of Canoe and Kayak Rental Companies (FNPLCK) and Canoe France. Our boats are regularly maintained and replaced to guarantee maximum comfort and safety. We take this very seriously.

🌿 Our advice: Don’t hesitate to request canoes with backrests when booking – stocks are limited. For a full day out, your back will thank you. And if you have young children, we have life jackets in all sizes: just let us know your children’s ages and weights at reception and we’ll adapt the selection accordingly.
